Well, Forum search was pretty fruitless (though maybe I just stink at it) and saw no threads about it, so instead preforming a bit of necromancy, here's a dump of homebrew invocations I've gathered.

You want the homebrew section.

And the asking for critique is usually done by putting PEACH in the title; Please Evaluate and Critique Honestly.

If I knew anything about balance or invocations, I'd help, but I don't so I can't.

Also, I beat the ninjas!
