Spell Specialization and the Summoner

[Ravencroft64]

Spell Focus and Augment Summon work with the summoner's spell-like the ability, so does Spell Specialization work as well?

Spell Focus does not work with the SLA, as it applies to DC's, of which this particular SLA does not have.

Augment Summon works because it is specifically mentioned by the Paizo staff. They have not specified that Spell Specialization works, so it does not.

In general (i.e. without an exception made by the Paizo staff), feats that apply to spells (like metamagic) do not seem to apply to SLAs.

You cannot apply meta magic to spells.

Edit: Erm... I was thinking spell perfection. Regardless, same FAQ entry more or less applies. SLAs are not spells.

Edit II: Another reference post stating SLAs are not spells.

The summoner's spell-like ability specificly states its considered on its list for spell completion and spell trigger items though.
