Summoned Creatures and Actions

According to ITL, a summoned creature can't attack on the round it's brought into being (same with illusions).

It seems a little unfair to have the Wizard summon a Myrmidon (or Wolf or whatever) for 2 ST, and then have to wait and pay another 1 ST on the next round to actually use it. Contrast this to Fire (also a Creation spell) that does damage immediately to anyone in the hex where it's brought into being.

Maybe this would make wizards/summon spells/illusions too powerful? I'm still super-new to the game, and am not seeing a game-breaker here, but stuff like this exists for a reason and I'm hoping I can read about that here.

Thanks in advance!
