You want to look into being a spellsword of some variety. Enchant your sword with all your fire and lightening stuff, then you can hit things with it.

Are Summoners within the Wizard wheel house? I'd lean towards no, but they are aware of how to properly lay sigils and magic circles.

Also, you ever seen a Summoner mess up summoning? It's not pretty, you end up with all sorts of bad poo poo showing up. Gotta be careful on those older editions of the summoners manual too, drat thing is written like it's meant to kill you doing it. Think it was put out there by early mage-slayers truth be told. Suuuuure, it says your gonna get a cute little puppy, you preform the ritual and end up with a goddamn evil baboon that's pretty drat pissed off.

Seriously be careful, with any spellcasting or summoning. It's a lot of rear end in a top hat wizards out there leaving purposely incomplete and incorrect spells and such.
