material focuses and summoned creatures

[kinderschlager]

summons are explicitly banned from using SLA's that require expensive material COMPONENTS. there is no restriction on them using spells that require expensive material focuses, correct?

I believe you are correct. (Certainly the balancing issues that arise with expensive material components are pretty much moot with foci.)

Of course, if it's a spell rather than a SLA you'll have to provide said focus to them.
