Where is A'vandira (SPOILER)

[Grindar Silvermane]

When I was in the Coldwood exploring the wizard lab looking for the Snowglobe my familiar A'vandira (Sprite) got hurt pretty bad in a fight so I unsummoned her. Now I can't summon her again. After resting the special abilities menu does mention one familiar to be summoned although that option is like greyed out. I thought it had something to do with the wizard lab so I continued. But now after I killed the guardian white dragon and leveled up to Sorcerer 18 I get to choose a familiar and still it doesn't work. Anybody know why?

I have a similar problem, but the only thing I found that works is to put the cursor on my portrait (upper right) and then right click. I use the ability to summon familiar from there. Don't know why I can't use it anywhere else, but if you have tried that and it doesn't work, don't know what to say. Definitely a bug.

Thanks a million, Tobbin. I hadn't tried that, but it definitely works now.
It only started after I upgraded with the latest patch. However, I started a saved game of two days ago with my familiar still in the party (saving about every two minutes and reloading every time my familiar got killed) but there was also a fortunate side to this for now I have found a better solution to the Elk Tribe Quest.
There's more problems with the patch I think because now if I summon a Celestial Avenger he remains I think 1 round per level instead of 1 hour per level. Glad that the other summoning spells are not affected
