Not necessarily unbalanced, but definitely impossible to manage.Basically, the scalability can't be based on number of creatures, because even summoning 5 creatures makes a combat incredibly slower. And, on the other hand, at sufficiently high levels, you need dozens of celestial hawks before they are useful.What about scaling the spells by using advanced creatures? Something like, the creature summoned may have one additional HD per caster level above the minimum required to cast the spell... or something similar but less clunky.</blockquote>
