Azem timeline confusion

[Iscah]

He's used the Azem summoning powers a few times (Warrior of Light, Endsinger Trials).

He's been drawn to us by Azem's power a few times, but that's the opposite of using it.

I get the impression that, having created Azem's crystal, he still had something of a sentimental streak and "took Azem to interesting places". (Inbetween conquering and ruining interesting places, but it's the thought that counts...)
