The Ball Lightning acts as soon as any summoned creature acts - in most GM's games this will be on the round after it appears.  It could presumably act the instant it appears without affecting the spell's balance.Anyway, the ball lightning appears and deals 10d6 to everyone within 10' of the point where it appears - a reflex save for 1/2.  It then moves and attacks a single foe (who may or may not be within 10 ft. of the point where it appeared) and if it hits with its one attack it deals 10d6 damage to that target, fort save for 1/2.If a rogue is within 10' of a ball lightning it could evade the first 10d6 entirely (the part that allows a reflex save) but get hit by the attack for the second10d6 which requires a fort save.Note that if the ball lightning misses it's attack (quite possible against an agile rogue) it still dissapates.  It only gets one attack.</blockquote>
