Summon Monster/ Planar Ally/ Create Undead

[Go'f]

I have a cleric, Go'f Black-Mane, who is building up as a summoner type (inspired by Elric the Melnebonian, he is even an Albino Drow).
I am slightly lost on a few summons changes from the default system and as such I have a few questions regarding the system and how it differs

• What is the base duration of a Summon Monster (x)?
  
  What is the effect of spell focus/greater spell focus/ Epic spell focus on duration?
  
  Will the spell descriptions be modified to show correct spell Duration?
  
  What effect does high Wisdom (caster stat) have on a Conjured creature?
  
  Other than Creature stats what is the difference/advantage between a Conjure and a Necromancy spell

It seems that my "Planar Ally" has about half the spell duration as "Summon VI" I haven't figured out why, any ideas?

I will be publishing a summons overview with the update to the server tonight.

Watch this space.

Thanks for the guide, that really explains things pretty well. However, I think that post should be stickied prominently where people can get to it quickly. There is no way in hell I'm going to remember enough of that to repeat it in the game to someone, I'm going to refer them to the boards. It would be helpful if these people could find the relevant topics quickly.

Zing also put it in the Spell Revisions section under Neversummer Documentation.

I know, but I'm not sure how prominent that might be.
