I've a concern towards the resonant power of the Occultist. Specifically,
"Casting Focus (Su)
The implement empowers the bearer's ties to the worlds beyond, allowing his spells to maintain their power for a longer period of time. The bearer can add the implement as an additional focus component to any conjuration spell he casts that has a duration measured in rounds per level. If he does so, he adds 1 to his caster level for every 2 points of mental focus stored in the implement (to a maximum bonus equal to your occultist level). This increase applies only when determining the duration of the spell. Apply this increase after other effects that adjust a spell's duration, such as Extend Spell.
Base Focus Power: All occultists who learn to use conjuration implements gain the following focus power."
Here's my beef. The Occultist doesn't get any round per level spells it seems like in the conjuration school worth noting, at least from the quick skimming of the early level spells. He doesn't even get summon nature or monster spells at any of the levels which seems peculiar, given they literately give him a minute summon at level one as a focus power. So, is this intentional, to make the conjuration resonant so specifically useless? If I'm missing something or if they're a particular spell that this is meant for, please, let me know~

Many, many other people have pointed this out since OA came out. Apparently it was also brought up during the playtest. I believe that Gitterdust is the only spell on the Occultist's spell list that qualifies unless you are a Sha'ir Occultist. They get access to a few Summon Monster spells. This is going to keep coming up until we get a FAQ, so... FAQ'd!
