I am glad that Hiding did the work, played it, ran through and identified how it is overpowered. Great job doing the testing, with constructive criticism to boot.
There is something that really irks me. Lovecraft's works aren't about being a powerful summoner spamming cosmic entities, they are about powerlessness. This isn't Lovecraftian (because it can summon star spawn over and over), it is actually anti-Lovecraftian.
Very interesting, but I am not sure if I will ever get the chance to try this class out.
I am currently building a Gothic Horror Old West setting for Pathfinder (for 3PP publication) called Gothic Western in which a corruption mechanic applied to everyone in the setting for exposure to aberrations, aberrant artifacts, monster attacks, and even casting and being cast upon by some existing and new spells. You've introduced ideas that might be applied to that mechanic. I might like to include a class like the Antiquarian, though currently have already developed a sorcerer archetype called the cabalyst with a similar purpose.
Good ideas here. Do you mind if I steal some of this for publication?

A friend of mine linked this thread to me earlier today and Hiding, if you want to modify it I ran down the thread and copied and pasted all of what was stated as it's class abilities into a google doc. I figured someone could take it and fix up the class in order to make it a bit more of what everybody wants it to be. Here is a link to the google document. I made it so that anyone could go ahead and make changes to the original document. Antiquarian
