I have an idea, and I need to know how powerful everyone things it is...

Lets say you have a warlock. As a full-round action, the warlock can summon a creature that has the strength of a familiar (plus regeneration - no fear of it biting the dust permanently). With this familiar, you can forego using an invocation yourself to have your familiar use one at 1/2 your warlock level (meaning restricted selection of invocations and damage will degrade as well). This allows you to do other full-roundish things.

Is this idea cool?
Is this idea workable/too powerful/not powerful enough to give anything up for?

It would work, if the player didn't abuse it. This would be great for Multiclassing and Melee-locks, but not really otherwise overpoweing.

Imagine a two-level dip into Warlock with this. Now somebody with other full-BAB classes can make a full attack and still have Baleful Utterance or Sickening Blast.
