And I find I have a ton of some anomaly creaters and only 2 or 3 of others (usually time and reflector). It used to seem silly to work on a collection, and a waste of fixers, to turn in for a few anomaly creators, but when you really need them, it doesn't seem as silly. Only problem being many of those collections need Dragonflies or Cotton, and 4 or 5 of them, to get turned in. is it worth the cost to get to create more Others have answered questions in other parts of this post but here is my 2 cents on this section. Even if you only have one summons for the anomaly you need you can precisely place it as long as you have enough other summons tools. Use the others until it will not convert any locations. Go to the room you want. If it has an anomaly- play or dispel it, if it is in some mode other than anagram (marked cba)  then you will need to play the room until it levels up and will accept an anomaly, if it is in anagram mode then play it to get it one of the other regular modes. At this point there should only be one room that will accept and anomaly, your target room. Then you can use the summons you need to get it to the anomaly you want. Is tis a waist? Not really since you are poised to control what room you want from here on out and if you want you can collect all the benefits of dispelling so many rooms in record time.

A second note on your quote above: you don't have to go to collections to resupply summons and dispels. A sure way to get the tools is to craft and use banishing tools. I craft a few banishing tools per day as I play. When I need some energy I banish monsters using the crafted tools. Each one I banish gives me more summons/dispels in the chests they leave behind. To save real time I open these chests 10 at a time to get the tools. You can use the torches, water, etc to banish the lower level monsters but you take a chance that you won't get tools from that.
