More flavor to texts

While translating, I've been thinking of expanding descriptions for races, spells, creatures, etc. to give them more flavor. Currently, I've made some in spanish, but have no problem to carry them into english for the stock game or anyone that would like to add similar ones in other languages.
For example, the Summoner retort:
Summoner reduces the casting cost and maintenance of all summoning spells by 25%, and also gives a 25% bonus to research put towards summoning spells.
...could be:
Summoners are wizards well versed in calling and binding creatures to put them into his service and make indirect use of their magical abilities. The art of summoning not only demands knowledge of magical formulae: a summoner must wield a strong personality and aura to enforce his commands, be fluent in several arcane languages to communicate with outer spirits, and study the creatures he intends to enslave as well as their strong and weak points.
