So, I am playing a Nature Oracle and have picked up the ability to use Summon Nature's Ally over Summon Monster for thematic reasons. I was looking for feats other than Meta Magic to help, and most of the feats deal with Summoning Good alingment monsters and having an aura, something the cleric has and not the oracle.
My feats are a bit weird, and so far got skill focus and eldritch hertiage for a fimiliar. I do not see any way Spell Focus can be useful to the Oracle spell list, with there not being any Conjuration spells that you can help the DC of. DM has ruled that this feat tax is staying in place, and things are going RAW, no adjustments.
Is there any magic item or any other way for me to meet the pre-reqs of Augment Summoning without wasting a feat that it totally and completely useless?
Couple levels in summoner. However, if you are fighting a lot of undead then Spell Focus increases the DC of your conjuration(healing) spells like Cure X Wounds and Heal.

Sure there are more Conjuration spells on that list that require saving throws.
I don't see how taking levels on summoner is useful to this. I have to take spell focus (conjuration) for Aigment Summoning, not just a generic spell focus.
I will take some, I didn't realize there was that many spells.
I was still sering if there was a way I could pick up Spell Focus without "wasting"

You could play an Elf, and take the Illustrious Urbanite alternate racial trait from Heroes of the Streets. It gives you Spell Focus (Conjuration, Illusion or Transmutation) as a bonus feat. It replaces Keen Senses.

My apologies. Two levels of the Master Summoner summoner archetype gives you Augment Summoning. And Spell Focus(Conjuration) works on any spell of the Conjuration school, not just the ones that summon monsters.
