The Reserve line of feats require that you have a spell meeting a particular set of criteria available to cast in order to make use of the specific feat - e.g., Fiery Burst requires a Fire spell of level 2 or higher, Dimensional Reach requires a Conjouration(Summoning) spell of level 3 or higher, , Aquatic Breath requires a 3rd level or higher Water spell, Born Aloft requires a 5th level or higher Air spell, and so on.
Well, a Druid who isn't out of spells of a particular level always has a Summon Nature's Ally spell of that level available to cast through the Druidic Spontaneous Summoning class feature.
Summon Nature's Ally III and higher has this sentence:
"When you use a summoning spell to summon an air, chaotic, earth, evil, fire, good, lawful, or water creature, it is a spell of that type." - and Summon Nature's Ally gains the ability to Summon Elementals at SNA II.
Suppose, for a minute, I have a Druid with the Aquatic Breath (requires Water spell, 3rd+), Dimensional Jaunt (requires Conjuration(Teleportation) 4th+), Dimensional Reach (requires Conjuration(Summoning) 3rd+), and Born Aloft, but the only spell he has left for today is Tree Stride (Conjouration(Teleportation), Druid-5), can he invoke all his currently listed Reserve Feats (Water spell of 3rd+? Currently capable of casting Summon Nature's Ally V (Large Water elemental) - Water spell, check; Conjuration(Teleportation) - Tree Stride, Check; Air Spell? Summon Nature's Ally V (Large Air Elemental) - Air spell, check; Conjouration(Summoning)? Summon Nature's Ally V - check; and so on) - can he actually make use of the primary function of all of his reserve feats?
