If slain while summoned, it takes them aday to reform. In any case, they suffer no lasting effects (forgood or for ill) from any summoning episode. If a characteruses a summon nature’s ally spell to summon an animal, thecaster could indeed cast an animal friendship spell on it. Whenthe summon nature’s ally spell ends, however, the animal isgone, and it is no longer affected by the animal friendship spell."I believe that even if you were summoning a specific creature, the summoning spell would likely be designed to outfit it only as standard for its MM entry. Conversely, you also would be unlikely to summon say, a weaponless bearded devil (i.e. one that had set his weapon down or somesuch). 'Calling' spells would be an entirely different matter.Spells seem to be based more on 'belief' (and balance) than 'reason'.</blockquote>
