The Sorcery summoning is basically the summoning rules from Stormbringer 5 (which I believe are more or less the same as Elric!). The Sorcery rules are extremely easy to use, the summoning is tightly integrated, and to be honest from a D&D perspective could just as easily model divine magic as sorcery. If you wanted to, for example, you could have the Magic rules for Wizards, the Sorcery rules for divine magic, and the psychic rules for psionics... and probably the Mutations rules for Chaotic Features if you wanted. The Super Powers rules in a fantasy campaign for me work best as a list of special abilities different monsters or races have (ie for describing infravision, cold resistance, etc).

Cheers,
