I think most of the information is already available in one form or another. I think we could use page Summoning spells as the main overview page about the spell effects. And I don't think we want to maintain the information twice.
I can see adding some additional information about non-spell summoning effects available as a glance on the Summons page, particularly CR and possibly a list of monsters.

- Create Undead is not a Conjuration (Summoning) spell, it is typed as a Necromancy spell. In DDO, it shares all characteristics of summoning spells though.
--Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 04:45, May 14, 2013 (EDT)
- The thread here does indicate that Augment Summoning works with summon undead spell (sic). There is no summon undead spell so I assume he means Create Undead. So while not a true summons, it might as well be included.

Targeting[edit]
Started a discussion on this on the forums. How do you target a summons spell? Elajna (Contributions • Message) 19:30, February 20, 2015 (EST)
Dismiss summon[edit]
Is there any way to dismiss your summoned creature? Like dispel it or something like that. --95.27.252.92 (Message • Block • Check) 17:12, February 3, 2016 (EST)
- No... the best you can do is carry low-level Summon scrolls or cast your lowest level from your spell pool to replace your existing summon with something weak, and then hope something whacks it dead. --Thalone 19:08, February 3, 2016 (EST)
- I was thinking the other day that Dismiss Charm would be a useful mechanism for getting rid of a summon. After all, a summoned creature behaves not unlike something commanded or dominated. But I use the word mechanism simply to mean it would be useful in DDO as a way to dismiss a summon. ⇒ Veeblefetzer (Contribs • Message • Email) 22:27, September 28, 2019 (EDT)
Improving Summons section[edit]
Under Buffs, as described, I think the following spells should be added: Magic Fang, Align Fang, Animal Growth.
- As I understand it, that section is meant for buffs that exclusively target summoned creatures, whereas those spells can also be used on Druids in animal forms. Pretty much any buff spell could be used on a summoned creature. ⇒ PurpleSerpent (Contribs • Message • Email) 11:36, November 27, 2023 (EST)
