The Magician's Tower

Ok, can someone explain to me what I am doing wrong or do swarm pets not effect the pet count requirement for storm of many. I went to a combat dummy in the guild hall....cast host of elements, cloth cap, servant of ro, and sent my pet. More than 15 pets on the combat dummy. I then cast storm of many 4 times and all 4 times I only got 1 of the 5 spell hits. What am I doing wrong?

Storm of Many determines the number of pets based on the monster's hate list. Combat dummies have no hate list, and therefore storm will do no damage to them. Any damage you saw is likely from procs (which will still proc, despite storm getting 0 hit lines).
