I think it would be neat if summoner's got some more utility with their pets. It is funny how a lot of BRDs complain about having to play songs since they just want to shoot things, seems like utility/flavor missed the mark there. On a summoner though? That would be awesome. Pie in the sky thought here but imagine getting a Phoenix summon in the future that cast Life 3 on someone (when they die they get insta-rezzed).
