Description
You call forth a Dragon spirit. It manifests in an unoccupied space that you can see within range and uses the Draconic Spirit stat block. The creature disappears when it drops to 0 Hit Points or when the spell ends. The creature is an ally to you and your allies. In combat, the creature shares your Initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It obeys your verbal commands (no action required by you). If you don't issue any, it takes the Dodge action and uses its movement to avoid danger.

School Fit
Conjuration handles every spell that brings something onto the battlefield that was not there a round ago, and every spell that removes the caster from one square and places them in another. The school tag on Summon Dragon is obvious from the effect — the spell places matter or creatures into the world that were not there before the cast. Mid-tier casters can usually cast Summon Dragon once or twice per long rest.
Class Fit
- Wizard: At tier 1 Wizards have small prepared lists. Summon Dragon earns its place by either being always-relevant (Shield, Mage Armor) or by being the right answer to a known problem. Concentration is the binding cost — Summon Dragon can't share a slot with another concentration spell.
