....But dude, summoning, say, a big bird, just to fly a bit. That's not utility? A summoned creature is not specifically made for offense or defense of the user, it just can be used as such if the user decides.

My classification refers to both the type of ability (Offensive/Defensive/Utility) and it's execution (Active/Passive/Mixed/Buff/Sustained).

And I never expected to win on just the background, I'm not stupid. But the rules never specified to be that specific.
