Familiarize yourself with the summoned monsters available, so you know which levels to pick up. Summon monster 7 has the bone devil, with at will wall of ice and fly. SM4 has summon melphit any which has a lot of options, beyond core. Remember, summon monster 7 is to get you access to a dozen lower level utility spells.

Better on a druid because earlier access to elementals, but what are you going to do. The only down side is you have to light a few feats on fire and kick them still screaming into a ditch, but the tasty, tasty versatility is so worth it and you loose no caster levels to get it.

A really good Sorc guide would have all of the different things you need as a caster and then a rundown of which spells cover the most of them. The Heart of Line, and polymorph spells are particularly good for covering lots of areas. Originally Posted by The Glyphstone.
