You learned magic at the Sorcerers Nexus of Rel Astra. a shadowy academy led by the greatest summoners and binders of Oerth.
Prerequisite: Ability to prepare and cast arcane spells.
Region: Solnor Compact (Oerth).
Benefit: You can channel stored spell energy into summon monster spells that you did not prepare ahead of time. You can "lose" any prepared spell that's not a conjuration spell in order to cast a summon monster spell of the same level or lower. For example, a wizard who has prepared fireball (a 3rd-level spell) may lose fireball in order to cast summon monster III (also a 3rd-level spell). Add the following to the list of feats you may select as a bonus wizard feat: Augment Summoning, Fiendsign, Greater Spell Focus, Greater Spell Penetration, Spell Focus, Spell Penetration.
