I am curious as to why the Summoner is a spontaneous arcane caster?
The intro description describes it as a character that spends much time researching spells and arcane rituals specifically in the realm of summonings. In fact the classes main ability, the eidolon, is summoned through a 1 minute ritual. None of this sounds like someone that has an inborn innate ability to attune with and produce magic.
I know that this would wreak havoc with the existing spell progression but it seems to me to fit the concept of the character far better. besides to my knowledge the only prepared arcane caster in game currently is the wizard, shouldn't there be another one?

The witch is a prepared caster.

Woops, guess I didn't read that class well enough. *blush*
That doesn't change the initial question of why isn't the summoner a prepared caster as well?

it's because they based the spellcasting off of the bard, both in how fast they get the spells and number they know, and finally how it works (Spontaneously). i like them better as a spontaneous caster. they did this with the alchemist, which i think should be another preparation caster, though i don't mind the different progression on them, and they did it with the inquisitor. rather or not you like this, this is what they did for the play tests.
