The first line of the last paragraph basically means:
'From beginning to end, everything combined.'
As far as I can see.
So the solution is either:
'Summons and places' or 'anagram' or I don't know what.
I'm sorry phoenix, I just don't think it's as clear to find the solution as you seem to think it is. If we have actually said it, then you would be telling us it was the answer, so we need something that hasn't been said. And that's worrying, because we've exhausted a lot of ideas.
