Summon Giant Ally

[Larson di Slancio]

The Summon Giant Ally I spell states that it "functions as" Summon Nature's Ally VI. Does this mean that the creatures from Summon Nature's Ally VI are available to be summoned by Summon Giant Ally I? Normally, I would think yes, but the description is unclear to me.

This spell functions as summon nature’s ally VI, except its casting time is shorter and you can summon one cave, hill, marsh, river, slag, stone, or wood giant.

No. It means that you can summon those specific giants otherwise following the rules, such as duration and spell types, of summon nature's ally vi.

Makes sense. Thanks for the reply.
