Words of Power: Servitor Boost Question


Rules Questions


When using the Boost meta word to summon creatures using the servitor effect words, does the effect words' level increase? Instead of summoning 1 creature off of the spell's equivalent summon monster/summon nature's ally list of monsters, a boosted servitor word spell summmons 1d4+1 creatures.

It was said somewhere on the forums that boosting the servitor effect word increased the spell level by 3, but I cannot find this information anywhere in the meta word section or the servitor effect word description.

RAW (as far as I can tell) a 17th level word caster wizard can, as a standard action, throw down a boosted Servitor IX word spell to summon 1d4+1 monsters off of the Summon Monster IX list. Granted, not the most effective use of a wizard (since spell words generally don't have the same range of options as standard spells), but still... pretty potent stuff, even if they can only use meta words 10 times a day and are limited by spells per day as normal.

Side question: does the servitor words of power (RAW or RAI) interact with racial traits, feats, or class features as the summon monster or summon nature's ally spells? For instance, Augmented Summoning: does it interact the same with Servitor I as it does with Summon Monster I? What about a Herald Caller Cleric using words of power? Would all of their class features interact with the servitor spells as if they were summon monster spells?

Thanks in advance for any help and insight you can share.
