I really like the idea of conjuration, despite playing a character that is absolutely opposed to it. Having experimented with a few of the new custom domains, I find that only very rarely, such as in the case of Illusion or Darkness, is there a unique summoning theme among them. I don't know how much of a hassle it is, but I think there's a good oppourtunity with the domain-based summoning themes that haven't been made yet.

Clerics are pretty badass anyway with just some domains giving a free theme. New summoning themes would be cool, but should be balanced to not be any more powerful than default. Some domains like Fire are less useful generally, but do get sweet summons as a benefit. If everything got upgraded domains, it would just make domain powers even more strong.

I would suggest, though, that clerics should be able to use the Theme changer to select what they want to summon, when they take two domains with themes. At present, there is an order of priority that might not agree with what the PC would prefer to call up.
