Take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks so much!   http://worldbuilderblog.me/2015/04/02/the-conjuring/

Nowhere in the rules text does it say you have no control over what kind of dragon you summon, so if you conjure a Gold Dragon and actively explain to it what's going on, it shouldn't become hostile towards you if your concentration breaks. That's something you should include for the sake of avoiding this question in the future. Include guidelines for DMs along the lines of "Consult the dragon's stitistics in the Monster Manual to determine how it acts when the caster's concentration is broken." Also, for a 9th level spell, it seems to me like the dragon should be a bit stronger than CR 9, but off the top of my head, I can't actually say what seems reasonable. Scratch what I said, I have to ask, why not just update the Summon Monster spells from 3.5?

Silver Dragons would be all about going on a holy crusade to stamp out evil and you could probably even permanently bind the summoned dragon as a part of your party. Oh, wait, I forgot, they took the Permanency spell out of the rules. Awe man. That would have been cool.
