Simple question:
If a caster casts a summon spell (such as summon nature's ally) from a hiding spot, will they still be seen? Do the sniping rules apply, or what?

"Sniping
If you've already successfully used Stealth at least 10 feet from your target, you can make one ranged attack and then immediately use Stealth again. You take a –20 penalty on your Stealth check to maintain your obscured location."
Sniping only applies if you make one ranged attack, not if you cast a spell.
"A verbal component is a spoken incantation. To provide a verbal component, you must be able to speak in a strong voice. A silence spell or a gag spoils the incantation (and thus the spell). A spellcaster who has been deafened has a 20% chance of spoiling any spell with a verbal component that he tries to cast."
This will make it difficult to be sneaky while casting most spells.
