Alright, I've taken a pass at this a half dozen times and never been satisfied, but the new Tasha's spells have given me a little inspiration.

Pact Magic
At 1st levels your studies into otherworldly beings has granted you facility with spells. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the Summoner spell list.
Cantrips
You know three cantrips of your choice from the Summoner spell list. You learn additional summoner cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Summoner table.
Spell Slots
The Summoner table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Summoner spells of 1st through 5th level. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your Summoner spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.
For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 3rd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell Cure Wounds, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 3rd-level spell.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
At 1st level, in addition to Find Familiar you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the Summoner spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Summoner table shows when you learn more summoner spells of your choice of 1st level and higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what’s shown in the table’s Slot Level column for your level. When you reach 6th level, for example, you learn a new Summoner spell, which can be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Summoner spells you know and replace it with another spell from the Summoner spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Summoner spells, so you use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Summoner spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus (see the Adventuring Gear section) as a spellcasting focus for your Summoner spells.
Ritual Casting
standard
Summoner's Command
At 1st level the power of your Summoner's art allows you to momentarily empower any creature you have created or conjured with a spell until the beginning of your next turn. As an action, you grant the conjured creature a d4 which remains until the beginning of your next turn or until spent. This die can be added to an attack roll or saving throw. The die increases in size to a d6 at level 5, a d8 at level 11, and a d10 at level 17.
Using Summoner’s Command on a Familiar or other conjured creature not normally able to attack, such as an Unseen Servant, allows that creature to make an attack using your Spell Attack bonus to hit and dealing its own damage or 1d6+your Intelligence modifier damage of an appropriate type, usually Bludgeoning from a Slam.
Contract
Beginning at 2nd level you master a particular form of Contract. Choose Soulbond, Menagerie, or Lost. This Contract grants you additional features at levels 2, 6, 10, and 14.
Considerations
At 3rd level you learn to incorporate specific Considerations into the Contract you make with the creatures conjured or created by your Summoner spells. By exchanging a measure of your vigor or accepting some form of curse you can enhance your summoned creatures in a variety of ways. The potential costs and benefits of Considerations are detailed below. When you gain a level in this class you can trade a Consideration you know for another for which you meet the prerequisites.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead.
Mystic Arcanum (6th level)
At 11th level, your patron bestows upon you a magical secret called an arcanum. Choose one 6th-level spell from the Summoner spell list as this arcanum.
You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.
At higher levels, you gain more Summoner spells of your choice that can be cast in this way: one 7th-level spell at 13th level, one 8th-level spell at 15th level, and one 9th-level spell at 17th level. You regain all uses of your Mystic Arcanum when you finish a long rest.
Mystic Arcanum (7th level)
At 13th level, your patron bestows upon you a magical secret called an arcanum. Choose one 7th-level spell from the Summoner spell list as this arcanum.
You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.
At higher levels, you gain more Summoner spells of your choice that can be cast in this way: one 8th-level spell at 15th level, and one 9th-level spell at 17th level. You regain all uses of your Mystic Arcanum when you finish a long rest.
Mystic Arcanum (8th level)
At 15th level, your patron bestows upon you a magical secret called an arcanum. Choose one 8th-level spell from the Summoner spell list as this arcanum.
You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.
At 17th level, you gain a 9th-level Summoner spell of your choice that can be cast in this way. You regain all uses of your Mystic Arcanum when you finish a long rest.
Mystic Arcanum (9th level)
At 17th level, your patron bestows upon you a magical secret called an arcanum. Choose one 9th-level spell from the Summoner spell list as this arcanum.
You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.
You regain all uses of your Mystic Arcanum when you finish a long rest.
Arcane Considerations
Beginning at 11th level, when casting a spell that conjures or creates a creature of 5th level or below, you can offer your use of a Mystic Arcanum to cast the spell, enhancing it as if cast with a spell slot of the Arcanum’s level and allowing you to waive the offering for one Consideration.
Impose Offering
When you employ a Consideration in the casting of a Summoner spell you can attempt to impose the offering on another creature within 30 feet. The creature must not be conjured or created by a spell and know a language. An unwilling creature can avoid paying the sacrifice with a successful Intelligence save against your Spell DC. On a success you must make the sacrifice normally. You can use this feature once and regain its use after a long rest.
Summoner's Call
At 20th level there's nothing in the multiverse beyond your reach. You can call out the name of any creature you have seen or know the True Name of and it will appear before you in an empty space within 30 feet that you can see. This summoned being can benefit from your Contracts like your other summons. You can use this feature once and regain its use after a long rest. The summoned creature's response to such a summoning will depend entirely on its attitude, circumstances at the time of its summoning, and relationship with you if any. Calling a god, the Tarrasque, or a Demon Prince into your presence may result in a swift, brutal end to your life, but you can do it if you want. Your experience with spirits of different realms has given you a preternatural insight into the nature of your own soul and this understanding allows you to form a unique Contract with a particular spirit. Through your bond this spirit becomes an Eidolon as it manifests its ultimate potential when assuming forms granted to it by your Summoner Spells.
Eidolon
Beginning at 2nd level, you create a Soulbond with a particular type of spirit. Choose whether your Eidolon is a Celestial, Fiendish, or Fey Spirit. As long as this Spirit exists you can choose to incarnate it as the creature normally summoned or created by a Summoner spell you cast, such as Find Familiar, Find Steed, Conjure Elemental or Summon Construct, etc.
If Incarnated as a Familiar, your Eidolon can assume the form of a Psychopomp or Mechanoid if Celestial, an Imp or Quasit if Fiendish, a Sprite or Blink Dog if Fey. Your Eidolon can only Incarnate as one creature at a time. Having it incarnate in another form through one of your Summoner spells causes its previous form to wink out of existence, however, if the previous form was your familiar, it will reappear in the creature's space in this form when the spell ends. Regardless of its form your Eidolon's type will match that of the Spirit you chose.
The Eidolon is always Charmed by you and grows in power as you gain levels in this class. Any form it is given through one of your Summoner spells gains additional hit points equal to your class level and deals additional damage with its first successful attack each turn equal to your Proficiency bonus.
Sidebar: Destroying a Spirit is nearly impossible, akin to destroying a Soul but more troublesome since little magic directly affects Spirits beyond their summoning or incarnation. Destroying one generally requires a Wish or similar magic and nothing would stop such a Summoner from Contracting with another.
Aligned Command
When you use your Summoner’s Command on your Eidolon it can add the die to its damage roll. This additional damage can be Radiant if the Spirit is Celestial, Necrotic or Fire if Fiendish, or Psychic if Fey.
Wings
Beginning at 6th level, when you incarnate your Eidolon its form has wings granting it a fly speed of 30 feet. The wings are angelic if the spirit is Celestial, Batlike if it is Fiendish, Gossamer if Fey. If the form already has a fly speed, its speed increases by 10 feet.
Piercing Gaze
At 10th level the evolution of your spirit as it responds to your Eidolon grants you an enhanced sense based on your alignment. If your alignment has more than one of the following elements you may choose the sense gained. You can use the sense granted a number of times equal to your Proficiency bonus and regain all uses after a long rest. If your alignment changes before you have exhausted all your uses, the new sense granted will be limited to your remaining uses of this feature.
Good-Alignment Detection. As an action you can force a creature within 30 feet to make a Charisma save vs your spell DC. On a success you learn their alignment.
Evil- Death Eyes. As an action you can see the ties of fate that will lead to a creature's death. As an action you can determine a creature's current hit points and severity of exhaustion if any.
Lawful- Sense of Fundamental Absolutes. As an action you can determine what spells or magical effects, if any are affecting a creature. While this will tell you if they have been disguised by an illusion or transformed, it does not reveal their true form.
Chaotic- Luck Sense. When you Ready an action you can choose to gain advantage on any attack roll or check made as part of the readied action.
God Denying Barrier
At 14th level, your soul’s resonance with that of your Eidolon allows you to momentarily create an absolute defense. When your Eidolon would take damage you can use your reaction to reduce all damage from the source to 0. You can use this feature once and regain its use when you complete a Long rest or sacrifice one of your uses of Mystic Arcanum.Where a Soulbonded Summoner specializes in a relationship with one spirit, you focus on quantity over quality.
Familiar Enhancement
Beginning at 2nd level, when you cast Find Familiar you can summon up to 3 creatures. They can all take identical forms or vary wildly from each other. If any of your Familiars dies while another lives you can restore the lost familiar by expending a 1st level or higher spell slot as an action or by performing the Find Familiar Ritual though it requires no expensive components. You can only share senses with one familiar at a time. Beginning at 2nd level, any Considerations employed when casting Find Familiar apply to all the creatures summoned.
Command Chorus
Beginning at second level, when you use your Summoner’s Command it can affect a number of Summoned creatures equal to your Proficiency bonus.
Spiritual Siblings
At 10th level, all the creatures conjured or created by one of your Summoner Spells gain the benefit of any Considerations you employ in the casting.
Dual Summons
Upon attaining 14th level you learn to draw forth the energies of other realms creating a miraculous tension that can create or summon two servants at once. When you use a Mystic Arcanum to cast a Summon Spell of a lower level, you can choose to use the difference in levels to summon a second creature using the same spell or another Summoner Spell you know. Any Considerations you employ applies to both creatures.
Example: By using your 6th level Mystic Arcanum you could cast Summon Fey and conjure 2 Fey beings or use the remaining 3 levels to cast Summon Shadow. By using a 7th level Mystic Arcanum, you could cast one of the spells as 4th level and cast the other at its normal level. You can use this feature once and regain its use after a long rest.Unsatisfied with spirits and beings from other planes you call out beyond the farthest shore. There, horrors unborn in this realm lay spawning abominations, and entities that have lost their purchase on reality await someone to remember them. You make Contracts with the Lost, vestiges of those abhorred by existence or the gods’ half baked creations that have no place there. Desperate for any taste of the existence they are denied, they will empower you in exchange for sharing your experiences.
Vestiges
At 2nd level you master the Rites to call beyond the farthest shore and the abjurations to create a semipermeable prison in your mind that allows you to channel a Vestige's power without being subject to its influence. At the end of a long rest you can perform a 1 minute Ritual and bind a Vestige to yourself. These entities grant you powers reminiscent of those they had or would have had and in exchange experience existence as you do.
While bound in this way you gain access to the Vestige's Command, Taboo and Taboo Curse traits, and Atonement Rite. Complete rules for these can be found in the Vestige's section below.
Vestiges exist in an incomprehensible, fractured state outside of time and space. Multiple Summoners can have the same Vestige bound simultaneously and each aspect will have no comprehension of what the other has done or will do on behalf of the other.
Spiritual Panoply
Beginning at 6th level, when you bind a Vestige a potent item unique to its legend and nature manifests. The specifics of these items are detailed in each Vestige's description.
Vestige Cloak
Beginning at 10th level the influence of a bound Vestige can extend into creatures conjured with your Summoner spells. As an action you can divest yourself of the Vestige’s Spiritual Panoply and grant its use to a creature you have conjured or created with a summoner spell. The creature can employ or wield the item, using your spellcasting modifier in place of its own attack bonus. These items are lost when the Vestige is unbound as normal but otherwise return to you when the spell ends. At 14th level and beyond you may also cast Vestige Arcana spells as if you were in the space of a creature empowered by Vestige Cloak.
Vestige Arcana
Beginning at 14th level you gain access to the Vestige's Arcana, a list of additional prepared spells unique to each Vestige. A Vestige's Arcana can be found in its description.Vestiges
Vestiges are often insane entities that live beyond the confines of time and space. Some claim knowledge of the future, but this may be the disjointed memory of a foreign world or ancient past. Nevertheless, their achronological existence allows multiple iterations to be bound simultaneously and their poor understanding of linear time after experiencing unreality prevents them from “remembering” for one Summoner what another had done elsewhere.
Many Vestiges allow you to cast spells or grant abilities that require enemies to make saving throws, the save DC for these is your Summoner Spell Save DC.
Taboos and Taboo Curses
If you violate a Vestige’s Taboo you bear its curse. The curse remains until you perform the required Atonement or Rite or the Vestige is unbound at the end of your next long rest or death, whichever comes first.
Vestige Command
While hosting the Vestige your Summoner’s Command feature will be modified as the power and nature of the Vestige bleed into the creatures you summon or create. The exact effect of this is detailed in the Vestige’s description.
Vestiges
The Dark Star
One of the infinite multitudes, it was the first to dim and disappear from the eyes of gods and mortals. As one of the first lights to shine on existence it lingers, granting its Host powers akin to those of other better known stars in the dark between.
Vestige Command: “Lose yourself in darkness...” When you use your Summoner’s Command, the empowered creature becomes ink black as it absorbs all light.

Taboo: Don’t let direct sunlight touch your skin
Taboo Curse: You and your summoned creatures suffer Sunlight sensitivity
Atonement Rite: Blind yourself for 1 minute
Spiritual Panoply: Dead Star Hammer: This floating orb of absolute darkness hovers in your space when not in use.

You can use your Intelligence bonus to determine attack and damage bonuses with this weapon instead of strength.
Arcana: Armor of Agathys, Darkness, Hunger of Hadar, Melf's Minute Meteors, Meteor Swarm
The Forgotten Prince
The Forgotten Prince was one of the first beings to experience ambition. Son to the first King but not the heir, that unfulfilled desire to lord over others haunted the entity long after the first mortals name’s were lost to time. It grants abilities related to rule and the appearance of Royalty.
Vestige Command: “Sacrifice yourselves if you have to!” When you use your Summoner’s Command, the empowered creature can gain advantage on any attack rolls it makes, but grants advantage to attackers until the beginning of your next turn.
Taboo: You cannot voluntarily accept any order, command, or comply with a demand (you can choose to comply with requests)
Taboo Curse: Any action you take without first receiving permission has disadvantage.

Spiritual Panoply: Royal Cloak- This billowing garment wards you against harsh climate and has numerous pockets that can hold more than they appear (functions as a Handy Haversack and negates hot and cold weather hazards)
Arcana: Friends, Charm Person, Command, Suggestion, Crown of Stars
The Dancing Clown
This monster was hurled from reality to prevent its predation on the innocent. Why are you letting it back in?
Vestige Command: “Don’t hide your fears...” When you use your Summoner’s Command, the empowered creature appears to its target as its greatest fear. Once per turn you can force a creature hit by the empowered creature to make a Wisdom save vs your Spell DC or become Frightened until the beginning of your next turn.
Taboo: You can offer no comfort (cannot heal, stabilize ally, or offer sympathy)
Taboo Curse: You must dance when you move, reducing your speed by half.
Atonement Rite: You must damage an ally or non hostile humanoid.
Spiritual Panoply: Comedy Umbrella- Holding the umbrella grants advantage on Acrobatics checks.

Arcana: Disguise Self, Tasha’s Hideous Laughter, Phantasmal Force, Phantasmal Killer, Otto's Irresistible Dance, Phantasmal Terrain
The Fallen Angel
The Fallen Angel was banished from the realm of its deity and performed innumerable crimes in its bitterness. Now it clings to its former nature and seeks penance in the hope of being restored.
Vestige Command: “Peace and Grace unto you...” When you use your Summoner’s Command, the empowered creature can grant temporary hit points to a creature within 30 feet equal to the result of the bonus die.
Taboo: Neither you nor creatures conjured or created by your spells can do harm to another living creature
Taboo Curse: Your wounds cannot be healed.
Atonement Rite: You must fail a death saving throw
Spiritual Panoply: The Essential Dram- a flask filled with a single dose of a miracle elixir that restores the newly dead to life (as Revivify). After this liquid has been used the flask turns any liquid placed in it into a Tier appropriate Healing Potion after the next short rest.
Arcana: Spare the Dying, Bless, Healing Word, Heal, Regeneration
The Wicked Architect
The Wicked Architect is believed to have built the first dungeon. Miserly and afraid of having his hoard stolen, the Architect grants powers related to his role as a Wizard and Dungeons.

Taboo: You cannot take what isn’t given to you freely. (you can’t knowingly steal or even pick up seemingly lost or abandoned items. You can’t even buy things.)
Taboo Curse: Every object you use will break after its first use, magic items have their properties suppressed for the duration.
Atonement Rite: You must bury everything you are carrying (this takes an hour, either digging the hole or an hour inventorying items before sealing them in a tomb etc, then another hour to get it all back, digging it up or counting it as its recovered).
Spiritual Panoply: You summon a Wand that lets you cast a Wizard cantrip of your choosing. It also has 6 charges. Choose a Wizard spell of up to 3rd level. Casting that spell with the Wand requires a number of charges equal to its level.
Arcana: Detect Magic, Arcane Lock, Detect Traps, See Invisible, Glyph of Warding, Mental Prison, Truesight
The Red Handed Betrayer
Believed to have betrayed a god, this warrior eventually became a vampire. Its powers are related to its cursed nature as a betrayer and undead.
Vestige Command: "Drink Deep!" When you use your Summoner’s Command, the empowered creature can make a bite attack and deals additional Necrotic damage equal to your Proficiency bonus. It regains hit points equal to the necrotic damage dealt.
Taboo: You cannot speak truth (though your lies can be painfully obvious)
Taboo Curse: You treat every humanoid as a potential threat and are Frightened of them.
Atonement Rite: You must catch a foe unaware to regain the upper hand (attack from stealth)
Spiritual Panoply: The Bloody Blade- Famed for lopping off the hand of its bearer’s master, the Bloody blade is a magical longsword crusted with dried blood. A creature hit by the Bloody Blade must make a Constitution saving throw or be unable to cast spells until the beginning of your next turn. A creature that succeeds on this save becomes immune to this effect until the following dusk.
Arcana: Detect Magic, Detect Thoughts, Charm Person, Dominate Person, Gaseous Form, Vampiric Touch
The Dauntless Warrior
The soul of a warrior lost to time after sacrificing their existence to end a cosmic threat. This entity stood tirelessly resolute in the face of his foes with his trusty steed at his side.
Vestige Command: “Stand firm old friend!” When damaged, a creature empowered by your Summoner’s Command can use its reaction to gain resistance to all the damage from the source.
Taboo: You may not harm Beasts
Taboo Curse: You gain vulnerability to Claw, Bite, Tail, and Sting attacks
Atonement Rite: You must return the beast or another creature of the same or greater size to the earth (burying a dead body takes 2 hours + 2 per size above medium).
Spiritual Panoply: You gain a magical Breastplate with which you are proficient. While mounted you provide your mount Cover and can divide damage between your mount as you desire.
Arcana: Bladeward, Booming Blade, False Life, Warding Bond, Resist Energy, Stoneskin, Tenser's Transformation
The Inverted Nemesis
The first rival to the first hero. The Inverted Nemesis was a hero of strength rivaling that of the first, but their talents lay at odds. Frustrated, the Inverted Nemesis fell to villainy and created a league of wicked beings and minions to harass the first hero. A treacherous path of villainy and redemption was walked and echoes throughout time as others meet their matches. The Inverted Nemesis grants powers pertaining to hindrance of a foe and directing the forgotten spirits of their wicked minions to slay their targets.
Vestige Command: "Face me!" When you use your Summoner’s Command, once per turn the empowered creature can reduce a target's speed by 10 feet on a hit.
Taboo: You must accept every spoken challenge
Taboo Curse: You have disadvantage on Wisdom Saving throws
Atonement Rite: You must name a rival and best them in a test of their choosing: strength, wits, or guile. If they throw the test it is invalid and the Taboo Curse persists.
Spiritual Panoply: The Mirrored Shield- as a bonus action you may reach forward and ensconce your arm up to the shoulder in articulated mail, a round shield polished to a mirror finish is already affixed to the arm. While equipped the shield functions as a Ring of Spell Turning.

WishConsiderations
Considerations are unique alterations to spells that conjure or create creatures that serve you. In order for a Summoner to know a Consideration, they must meet its prerequisites and in order for a Consideration to be granted, an offering must be made. Offerings generally take the form of the Summoner's vitality, reducing their hit point maximum for the duration of the spell or requiring the expenditure of an additional Summoner spell slot. However, a few more esoteric or extreme forms of offering are required for some.
If an offering cannot be paid, such as a demand for an alignment change to an alignment already held by the Summoner, then the Consideration requires one of the alternate payments or the spell fails. The vitality lost when a Summoner employs a Consideration is recovered only after their next long rest.
If a spell conjures or creates more than one creature, only one creature benefits from the Consideration unless otherwise specified.
Finally, when a Summoner conjures or creates a creature with a Mystic Arcanum they can gain the benefit of one Consideration they know and without the need to make an offering. This is known as the Arcane Consideration. Full details for Considerations can be found below.
Extended Servitude
Offering: reduce max hit points by level of spell
This Consideration doubles the duration of a spell that conjures or creates a creature.
Selfless
Offering: reduce max hit points by level of spell
When a creature within 5 feet of your servant is attacked, the servant will use its reaction to interpose itself applying disadvantage on the attack. If the attack misses, the servant is hit instead.
Sizemorph
Prerequisite: Level 14, Enlarge/Reduce known
Offering: Reduce max hit points by 2 per level of the spell
The creature conjured or created appears under the effect of Enlarge or Reduce for duration of the spell that created it.
Vicious
Offering: Reduce max hit points by 1d4 per level of the spell
Once per turn the creature deals additional damage equal to your proficiency bonus.

Pact Magic
At 1st levels your studies into otherworldly beings has granted you facility with spells. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the Summoner spell list.
Cantrips
You know three cantrips of your choice from the Summoner spell list. You learn additional summoner cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Summoner table.
Spell Slots
The Summoner table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Summoner spells of 1st through 5th level. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your Summoner spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.
For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 3rd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell Cure Wounds, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 3rd-level spell.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
At 1st level, in addition to Find Familiar you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the Summoner spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Summoner table shows when you learn more summoner spells of your choice of 1st level and higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what’s shown in the table’s Slot Level column for your level. When you reach 6th level, for example, you learn a new Summoner spell, which can be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Summoner spells you know and replace it with another spell from the Summoner spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Summoner spells, so you use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Summoner spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus (see the Adventuring Gear section) as a spellcasting focus for your Summoner spells.
Ritual Casting
standard
Summoner's Command
At 1st level the power of your Summoner's art allows you to momentarily empower any creature you have created or conjured with a spell until the beginning of your next turn. As an action, you grant the conjured creature a d4 which remains until the beginning of your next turn or until spent. This die can be added to an attack roll or saving throw. The die increases in size to a d6 at level 5, a d8 at level 11, and a d10 at level 17.
Using Summoner’s Command on a Familiar or other conjured creature not normally able to attack, such as an Unseen Servant, allows that creature to make an attack using your Spell Attack bonus to hit and dealing its own damage or 1d6+your Intelligence modifier damage of an appropriate type, usually Bludgeoning from a Slam.
Contract
Beginning at 2nd level you master a particular form of Contract. Choose Soulbond, Menagerie, or Lost. This Contract grants you additional features at levels 2, 6, 10, and 14.
Considerations
At 3rd level you learn to incorporate specific Considerations into the Contract you make with the creatures conjured or created by your Summoner spells. By exchanging a measure of your vigor or accepting some form of curse you can enhance your summoned creatures in a variety of ways. The potential costs and benefits of Considerations are detailed below. When you gain a level in this class you can trade a Consideration you know for another for which you meet the prerequisites.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead.
Mystic Arcanum (6th level)
At 11th level, your patron bestows upon you a magical secret called an arcanum. Choose one 6th-level spell from the Summoner spell list as this arcanum.
You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.
At higher levels, you gain more Summoner spells of your choice that can be cast in this way: one 7th-level spell at 13th level, one 8th-level spell at 15th level, and one 9th-level spell at 17th level. You regain all uses of your Mystic Arcanum when you finish a long rest.
Mystic Arcanum (7th level)
At 13th level, your patron bestows upon you a magical secret called an arcanum. Choose one 7th-level spell from the Summoner spell list as this arcanum.
You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.
At higher levels, you gain more Summoner spells of your choice that can be cast in this way: one 8th-level spell at 15th level, and one 9th-level spell at 17th level. You regain all uses of your Mystic Arcanum when you finish a long rest.
Mystic Arcanum (8th level)
At 15th level, your patron bestows upon you a magical secret called an arcanum. Choose one 8th-level spell from the Summoner spell list as this arcanum.
You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.
At 17th level, you gain a 9th-level Summoner spell of your choice that can be cast in this way. You regain all uses of your Mystic Arcanum when you finish a long rest.
Mystic Arcanum (9th level)
At 17th level, your patron bestows upon you a magical secret called an arcanum. Choose one 9th-level spell from the Summoner spell list as this arcanum.
You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.
You regain all uses of your Mystic Arcanum when you finish a long rest.
Arcane Considerations
Beginning at 11th level, when casting a spell that conjures or creates a creature of 5th level or below, you can offer your use of a Mystic Arcanum to cast the spell, enhancing it as if cast with a spell slot of the Arcanum’s level and allowing you to waive the offering for one Consideration.
Impose Offering
When you employ a Consideration in the casting of a Summoner spell you can attempt to impose the offering on another creature within 30 feet. The creature must not be conjured or created by a spell and know a language. An unwilling creature can avoid paying the sacrifice with a successful Intelligence save against your Spell DC. On a success you must make the sacrifice normally. You can use this feature once and regain its use after a long rest.
Summoner's Call
At 20th level there's nothing in the multiverse beyond your reach. You can call out the name of any creature you have seen or know the True Name of and it will appear before you in an empty space within 30 feet that you can see. This summoned being can benefit from your Contracts like your other summons. You can use this feature once and regain its use after a long rest. The summoned creature's response to such a summoning will depend entirely on its attitude, circumstances at the time of its summoning, and relationship with you if any. Calling a god, the Tarrasque, or a Demon Prince into your presence may result in a swift, brutal end to your life, but you can do it if you want. Your experience with spirits of different realms has given you a preternatural insight into the nature of your own soul and this understanding allows you to form a unique Contract with a particular spirit. Through your bond this spirit becomes an Eidolon as it manifests its ultimate potential when assuming forms granted to it by your Summoner Spells.
Eidolon
Beginning at 2nd level, you create a Soulbond with a particular type of spirit. Choose whether your Eidolon is a Celestial, Fiendish, or Fey Spirit. As long as this Spirit exists you can choose to incarnate it as the creature normally summoned or created by a Summoner spell you cast, such as Find Familiar, Find Steed, Conjure Elemental or Summon Construct, etc.
If Incarnated as a Familiar, your Eidolon can assume the form of a Psychopomp or Mechanoid if Celestial, an Imp or Quasit if Fiendish, a Sprite or Blink Dog if Fey. Your Eidolon can only Incarnate as one creature at a time. Having it incarnate in another form through one of your Summoner spells causes its previous form to wink out of existence, however, if the previous form was your familiar, it will reappear in the creature's space in this form when the spell ends. Regardless of its form your Eidolon's type will match that of the Spirit you chose.
The Eidolon is always Charmed by you and grows in power as you gain levels in this class. Any form it is given through one of your Summoner spells gains additional hit points equal to your class level and deals additional damage with its first successful attack each turn equal to your Proficiency bonus.
Sidebar: Destroying a Spirit is nearly impossible, akin to destroying a Soul but more troublesome since little magic directly affects Spirits beyond their summoning or incarnation. Destroying one generally requires a Wish or similar magic and nothing would stop such a Summoner from Contracting with another.
Aligned Command
When you use your Summoner’s Command on your Eidolon it can add the die to its damage roll. This additional damage can be Radiant if the Spirit is Celestial, Necrotic or Fire if Fiendish, or Psychic if Fey.
Wings
Beginning at 6th level, when you incarnate your Eidolon its form has wings granting it a fly speed of 30 feet. The wings are angelic if the spirit is Celestial, Batlike if it is Fiendish, Gossamer if Fey. If the form already has a fly speed, its speed increases by 10 feet.
Piercing Gaze
At 10th level the evolution of your spirit as it responds to your Eidolon grants you an enhanced sense based on your alignment. If your alignment has more than one of the following elements you may choose the sense gained. You can use the sense granted a number of times equal to your Proficiency bonus and regain all uses after a long rest. If your alignment changes before you have exhausted all your uses, the new sense granted will be limited to your remaining uses of this feature.
Good-Alignment Detection. As an action you can force a creature within 30 feet to make a Charisma save vs your spell DC. On a success you learn their alignment.
Evil- Death Eyes. As an action you can see the ties of fate that will lead to a creature's death. As an action you can determine a creature's current hit points and severity of exhaustion if any.
Lawful- Sense of Fundamental Absolutes. As an action you can determine what spells or magical effects, if any are affecting a creature. While this will tell you if they have been disguised by an illusion or transformed, it does not reveal their true form.
Chaotic- Luck Sense. When you Ready an action you can choose to gain advantage on any attack roll or check made as part of the readied action.
God Denying Barrier
At 14th level, your soul’s resonance with that of your Eidolon allows you to momentarily create an absolute defense. When your Eidolon would take damage you can use your reaction to reduce all damage from the source to 0. You can use this feature once and regain its use when you complete a Long rest or sacrifice one of your uses of Mystic Arcanum.Where a Soulbonded Summoner specializes in a relationship with one spirit, you focus on quantity over quality.
Familiar Enhancement
Beginning at 2nd level, when you cast Find Familiar you can summon up to 3 creatures. They can all take identical forms or vary wildly from each other. If any of your Familiars dies while another lives you can restore the lost familiar by expending a 1st level or higher spell slot as an action or by performing the Find Familiar Ritual though it requires no expensive components. You can only share senses with one familiar at a time. Beginning at 2nd level, any Considerations employed when casting Find Familiar apply to all the creatures summoned.
Command Chorus
Beginning at second level, when you use your Summoner’s Command it can affect a number of Summoned creatures equal to your Proficiency bonus.
Spiritual Siblings
At 10th level, all the creatures conjured or created by one of your Summoner Spells gain the benefit of any Considerations you employ in the casting.
Dual Summons
Upon attaining 14th level you learn to draw forth the energies of other realms creating a miraculous tension that can create or summon two servants at once. When you use a Mystic Arcanum to cast a Summon Spell of a lower level, you can choose to use the difference in levels to summon a second creature using the same spell or another Summoner Spell you know. Any Considerations you employ applies to both creatures.
Example: By using your 6th level Mystic Arcanum you could cast Summon Fey and conjure 2 Fey beings or use the remaining 3 levels to cast Summon Shadow. By using a 7th level Mystic Arcanum, you could cast one of the spells as 4th level and cast the other at its normal level. You can use this feature once and regain its use after a long rest.Unsatisfied with spirits and beings from other planes you call out beyond the farthest shore. There, horrors unborn in this realm lay spawning abominations, and entities that have lost their purchase on reality await someone to remember them. You make Contracts with the Lost, vestiges of those abhorred by existence or the gods’ half baked creations that have no place there. Desperate for any taste of the existence they are denied, they will empower you in exchange for sharing your experiences.
Vestiges
At 2nd level you master the Rites to call beyond the farthest shore and the abjurations to create a semipermeable prison in your mind that allows you to channel a Vestige's power without being subject to its influence. At the end of a long rest you can perform a 1 minute Ritual and bind a Vestige to yourself. These entities grant you powers reminiscent of those they had or would have had and in exchange experience existence as you do.
While bound in this way you gain access to the Vestige's Command, Taboo and Taboo Curse traits, and Atonement Rite. Complete rules for these can be found in the Vestige's section below.
Vestiges exist in an incomprehensible, fractured state outside of time and space. Multiple Summoners can have the same Vestige bound simultaneously and each aspect will have no comprehension of what the other has done or will do on behalf of the other.
Spiritual Panoply
Beginning at 6th level, when you bind a Vestige a potent item unique to its legend and nature manifests. The specifics of these items are detailed in each Vestige's description.
Vestige Cloak
Beginning at 10th level the influence of a bound Vestige can extend into creatures conjured with your Summoner spells. As an action you can divest yourself of the Vestige’s Spiritual Panoply and grant its use to a creature you have conjured or created with a summoner spell. The creature can employ or wield the item, using your spellcasting modifier in place of its own attack bonus. These items are lost when the Vestige is unbound as normal but otherwise return to you when the spell ends. At 14th level and beyond you may also cast Vestige Arcana spells as if you were in the space of a creature empowered by Vestige Cloak.
Vestige Arcana
Beginning at 14th level you gain access to the Vestige's Arcana, a list of additional prepared spells unique to each Vestige. A Vestige's Arcana can be found in its description.Vestiges
Vestiges are often insane entities that live beyond the confines of time and space. Some claim knowledge of the future, but this may be the disjointed memory of a foreign world or ancient past. Nevertheless, their achronological existence allows multiple iterations to be bound simultaneously and their poor understanding of linear time after experiencing unreality prevents them from “remembering” for one Summoner what another had done elsewhere.
Many Vestiges allow you to cast spells or grant abilities that require enemies to make saving throws, the save DC for these is your Summoner Spell Save DC.
Taboos and Taboo Curses
If you violate a Vestige’s Taboo you bear its curse. The curse remains until you perform the required Atonement or Rite or the Vestige is unbound at the end of your next long rest or death, whichever comes first.
Vestige Command
While hosting the Vestige your Summoner’s Command feature will be modified as the power and nature of the Vestige bleed into the creatures you summon or create. The exact effect of this is detailed in the Vestige’s description.
Vestiges
The Dark Star
One of the infinite multitudes, it was the first to dim and disappear from the eyes of gods and mortals. As one of the first lights to shine on existence it lingers, granting its Host powers akin to those of other better known stars in the dark between.
Vestige Command: “Lose yourself in darkness...” When you use your Summoner’s Command, the empowered creature becomes ink black as it absorbs all light.

The Forgotten Prince

Vestige Command: “Don’t hide your fears...” When you use your Summoner’s Command, the empowered creature appears to its target as its greatest fear. Once per turn you can force a creature hit by the empowered creature to make a Wisdom save vs your Spell DC or become Frightened until the beginning of your next turn.

Arcana: Disguise Self, Tasha’s Hideous Laughter, Phantasmal Force, Phantasmal Killer, Otto's Irresistible Dance, Phantasmal Terrain

Taboo Curse: Every object you use will break after its first use, magic items have their properties suppressed for the duration.
Atonement Rite: You must bury everything you are carrying (this takes an hour, either digging the hole or an hour inventorying items before sealing them in a tomb etc, then another hour to get it all back, digging it up or counting it as its recovered).
Spiritual Panoply: You summon a Wand that lets you cast a Wizard cantrip of your choosing. It also has 6 charges. Choose a Wizard spell of up to 3rd level. Casting that spell with the Wand requires a number of charges equal to its level.

Taboo Curse: You treat every humanoid as a potential threat and are Frightened of them.
Atonement Rite: You must catch a foe unaware to regain the upper hand (attack from stealth)

WishConsiderations
Considerations are unique alterations to spells that conjure or create creatures that serve you. In order for a Summoner to know a Consideration, they must meet its prerequisites and in order for a Consideration to be granted, an offering must be made. Offerings generally take the form of the Summoner's vitality, reducing their hit point maximum for the duration of the spell or requiring the expenditure of an additional Summoner spell slot. However, a few more esoteric or extreme forms of offering are required for some.
If an offering cannot be paid, such as a demand for an alignment change to an alignment already held by the Summoner, then the Consideration requires one of the alternate payments or the spell fails. The vitality lost when a Summoner employs a Consideration is recovered only after their next long rest.
If a spell conjures or creates more than one creature, only one creature benefits from the Consideration unless otherwise specified.
Finally, when a Summoner conjures or creates a creature with a Mystic Arcanum they can gain the benefit of one Consideration they know and without the need to make an offering. This is known as the Arcane Consideration. Full details for Considerations can be found below.
