Summon Undead (Sp): 5th level
By expending 1 daily use of their necrotic touch ability, the necromancer can summon an undead creature as a spell-like ability. This functions as the summon nature's ally I spell except that they can summon any undead creature with a challenge rating equal to the spell level * 1.5 or lower (rounded down). They cannot customize their own undead creature by applying templates to other creatures in the bestiary, but they can select any existing undead from the bestiary that matches these CR restrictions. For 2 daily uses, they can increase the spell level to 2nd level and thus the maximum possible challenge rating. This power can be selected multiple times. Each time its selected after the first, it increases the maximum spell level it can be cast at by 2, to a maximum spell level equal to one-third the necromancer's class level.
Would you be willing to increase maximum spell level from 1/3 necromancer level to 1/2 necromancer level to stay in line with summon monster/nature's ally power?
20th level necromancer can summon a maximum spell level 6(unless it is 7 since every investment after first it goes up by 2). For a maximum CR of 9. Summon Monster/Nature's Ally 9 can spawn a maximum of CR 14(At sorcerer/wizard/druid 17 no less).
But I could be missing the important detail of spending an extra use of necrotic power.
At first level it doubles from spell level 1 to spell level 2. What does it do when maxed? Spell level 6/7 to what?
