for a MuWz summoner of sif, what level of invocations?

On my last attempt at the build, I found that invocations was taking a very large chunk of my experience, so I quickly focused on spellcasting and summoning, and left invocations on normal.
How high should I train summoning, spellcasting, and invocations?

Summoning should probably always be at least twice the level of the other two until you have Summon Dragon at fair or higher; invo gives benefits all the way up to 27, but that's an extended game target; there is no point in the main game where more than ~10 invo is that useful.

I'm a bit confused at the channeling formula... it uses Invo/4, is that integer rounding (gains only at 4,8,12 etc) or does invocations matter at non-multiples of 4?

In 0.9, invo progresses only in multiples of 4; in 0.10, it has a smooth progression.

I thought Haunt would take a Mummy through a 3-rune game. Why Summon Dragon?

Also haunt has a big downside in that it needs a target. Especially as a MuSu, you want an army around you all the time. Summon dragon let's you keep a couple of dragons walking with you.

Well, you can actually Haunt your own spammal or zombie or whatever, if I remember correctly, so this isn't really much of a downside. But of course dragons are still a lot more powerful.
