    There is no emotion more useless in life than hate.

    Unlike the acf that trades it for an animal companion but treats your level as half, this summons a monster that can be dispelled, amf'd, etc. While it may not scale in epic levels that's not usually a problem for full casters with access to epic spellcasting.

    This idea is from my disappointment in the fact that summon monster only lasts for 1 round at level 1.
    I'm sure I've seen this somewhere before, either a reserve feat or a Pathfinder ability. I loved it then and I love it now, great work!
