Focus Item

An occult summoner has a bonded object, like that granted by the wizard's arcane bond class feature. If he does not have his focus item worn or in hand, he must pass a concentration check to use his summon monster class feature, DC 20 + the numeral of the summon monster ability used. He cannot summon his eidolon at all without access to his bonded object. He can use his focus item to cast any one spell of a level he can cast from his class spell list once per day, even one that is not among his spells known.

Occult Eidolon

An occult summoner can have any type of eidolon, but he needs his focus item to summon the eidolon. If using Everyman Unchained: Eidolons, the occult summoner usually has a outsider ( foo creature or kami ), or a construct, ooze, or [[Eidolons_(Apath)#Plant_Eidolons|plant]. This is a modification tot he eidolon ability.
