Leveling up from 1 to 12 as an necromancer human - close to FREEPORT

No, pets are summoned randomly within the level range of the pet spell. You'll have to get comfortable either not caring what level pet you summon or dismiss them and resummon them until you get the highest level one. Eventually you can't tell by conning them though.

And no, absolutely do not ever spend money on training things like Conjuration or Specialized Conjuration. They'll naturally max out because all you do is cast spells.
