Wizard summoner melee fighter

[Ultinoob]

Hello all

I wanted to make a melee wizard with the ability to summon monsters. Is this duable? I will only play him till level 20 and then TR. The reason for this is i like summonings and am just about to finish a life as a druid. I guess the wizard can only have two summonings like the druid and artifficer right? the skeleton knight and the summon monster spell. On higher levels i think my UMD will be high enough for casting summon monster on scroll but i would like to have atleast the first 12 levels to be wizard. I need to solo with him so disabe device search spot are mandatory.
I also thought about making a artificer 10 wizard 10 so i can have an iron defender and a skeleton knight but i am not sure thats a good idea...

Any ideas?

Thx.

edit: Just tested it. it is not possible to have iron defender and wiz skelly at the same time
