  1. Oh, man. You've never seen Read or Die, have you? If you don't hate anime, get hold of the three-episode OVA.

    I think the allies would be Summonable as well as Minion: you can have innocent things like books with you, then convert them into allies. Might be an Ally Group too.

    1. No I haven't seen Read or Die, but it's on my radar now! I could certainly see Summonable for allies you summon from the pages of books or Conjured for origami or pinatas brought to life (I can't get the parade from Paprika out of my head, for some reason).
