Description

At level 44.5 I summon The Bone Commander (level 30 spell), then summon the Boneburster (level 42 spell which summons a level 33 sub-pet based on 75% of my level 44) but CAN'T summon a Bone Patcher (level 18 spells which summons a level 18 sub-pet).

The numbers (as I understand them) behind this would be:
Max available pool for sub-pet levels= 44 * 1.5 = 66
Summoned Boneslammer level=33
Summoned Bone Patcher level=18
Sub-pet levels total=31+18=52

At level 44 I had no problems summoning The Bone Commander (level 30 spell), then summoning the Boneslammer (level 36 spell which summons a level 31 sub-pet) and a Bone Patcher (level 18 spells which summons a level 18 sub-pet).

The numbers (as I understand them) behind this would be:
Max available pool for sub-pet levels= 44 * 1.5 = 66
Summoned Boneslammer level=31
Summoned Bone Patcher level=18
Sub-pet levels total=31+18=49

Reproduction Steps

1. Use a 44.5 level Bonedancer
2. Summon a Bone Commander using the level 30 Summon Bone Commander spell
3. Summon a sub-pet using the level 42 Summon Boneburster spell
4. Summon a sub-pet using the level 18 Summon Bonepatcher spell
5. The spell fails reporting "Your general already has as many followers as he can command!
6. Summon a sub-pet using the level 15 Summon Bone Patroller spell
7. The spell works
8. Unsummon the Bone Patroller and the Boneburster
9. Summon a sub-pet using the level 36 Summon Boneslammer spell
10. Summon a sub-pet using the level 18 Summon Bonepatcher spell
11. The spells work.

Intended Behavior

At level 44.5 (an all other Bonedancer levels of course) the total pool of levels available to sub-pets should be Level * 1.5 (66 at 44.5).

It seems like the two most likely causes are either,
1) the calculation of the size of the sub-pool is incorrect based on character level
or
2) the level 42 Summon Boneburster spell/sub-pet is being accounted for incorrectly (yet it still con's green).

Evidence

Discussion of Uthgard 1.65 era sub-pet level caps:
https://www.uthgard.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=40536

Levels of sub-pets are calculated from the in-game hint text of the spells that tell you the level of the sub pet as "Affects monsters up to 75% of your level, to a maximum of level XX."
