Segregation of game mechanics and story. Your character still has all the same approximate knowledge, skill, and experience. You can address using a different weapon ICly as having a desire/need to branch out and try other forms of combat in order to gain mastery. Or you can chose not to address that you're leveling another class ICly at all.
I level other things off and on, but if I'm being dragged into character I usually just switch back to Summoner anyway.

Please read all the above with a soothing, British accented monotone.
