Where does it actually say you can summon your eidolon more than once per day?

So I have been reading around in the forums and I cant seem to find any real explanation of what an eidolon actually is.

According to the APG, "The eidolon’s physical appearance is up to the summoner, but it always appears as some sort of fantastical creature."

So could it appear as an ethereal creature? Or a bipedal blob of goo? Does an eidolon breathe? or eat? Can it be diseased or poisoned? Does it bleed? Would criticals work against it? Since it can't heal naturally what about ability damage?

Also has anyone seen anything official about life link and life bond?

thanks

Woops, forgot about the search function.... Thanks for the link though.

Hello everyone, long time reader first time poster...

So I have a couple questions about the summoner class abilities, specifically the life bond and life link abilities. Now with life link it says:

"Whenever the eidolon takes enough damage to send it back to its home plane, the summoner can, as a free action, sacrifice any number of hit points. Each hit point sacrificed in this way prevents 1 point of damage done to the eidolon. This can prevent the eidolon from being sent back to its home plane." Now unless I am mistaken, free actions have to be taken on your turn, so if your eidolon takes damage when it isn't your turn he gets sent home? Or does this mean that you can give up hit points on your turn?

Now for my next question, life bond states:

"As long as the eidolon has 1 or more hit points, the summoner cannot be killed. Damage in excess of that which would kill the summoner is instead transferred to the eidolon. This damage is transferred 1 point at a time, meaning that as soon as the eidolon is reduced to a number of negative hit points equal to its Constitution score, all excess damage remains with the summoner, killing him" So my question with this one is, if your summoner has say a 10 con. and gets hit to -13 hit points he would normally be dead, with this ability those extra 4 hit points instead get transfered to your eidolon keeping you alive, but it also states earlier under the eidolon ability: "If the summoner is unconscious, asleep, or killed, his eidolon is immediately banished." So when the summoners hit points reach -1 he is unconcious and his eidolon is banished but can it still absorb hit points after being banished?

Thanks for reading everyone, I hope this isn't to wordy!
