It is widely believed on these boards that summoning is pretty much the apex tactic at mid and higher levels for powerful characters.

I disagree with your entire premise that a summoning arcane caster is the apex of anything. Any comparable level evoker will crush a caster that summons. IMO they are so worthless that it is difficult to figure out a way to actually keep them alive without a lot of help.

And an interesting side note (which may have ramifications for your daily use item). If you were to drink a potion of enlarge person you would be stuck that way for the duration, because only the brewer of the potion can dismiss the spell.

Gee, thanks for hijacking my thread without even answering the original question.
