This. Just do this. The costs are fine as they are, especially with ways to reduce it and how they potently only scale on Elemental Attack to my knowledge coming from two sources, not one.
But I believe that Youkais shouldn't have overly expensive scaling skills themselves. That's just goofy and silly. Outright. Notable mentions are Firefox and Cat's Claw for me. Literally Killkenny can't even function by itself and Firefox is pretty much a "unsummon me" button the moment it uses Seeker Flame like five times total.
My point being. If you want my true take on things. Regarding the Shapeshifter comment.
Have Natural Evoke on Shapeshifter refund the current Rank*10% FP cost on a successful Install. Meaning if say, Drown Costs 30 FP. Sure, I wanna install into DW. Shoot and lose that 30 FP but then refund 9 FP back then apply the reduction as per usual so now Drown will cost 21 FP as long as I have it installed.
Secondly. To adjust epic costs overall. If you don't want to do what Spo suggested.
See this? Make that apply to Youkai too. That means Youkai, summoned from a Summoner who has Evoke Mastery gets 75% Reduced FP costs instead.
Thirdly. For Bonder? Just either make a new skill that's like Shared Pain and Joy only with FP costs strictly for Youkai Evokes (although guess what Parted Pain already does.) or make it so that Two Souls Beyond also reduces FP Costs of Evokes for the installed Bonded Youkai further.
I just don't want you people to forget these things exist and what have you. I don't think I have too many FP Problems on my summoners currently in regards to casting evokes equal to value. But I also use Parted Pain, Natural Evoke and Evoke Mastery on them so. Maybe that's got something to do with it. Since most of said summoners don't go over 300 FP.
But there's a huge fucking problem when i'm being discouraged from summoning my youkai since they have some super wack ass fucking FP costs that are literally only reduced by putting Parted Pain on them which makes them not as useful for finishing a fight but again Bonder is about fighting in tandem with your youkai but you get my point, I hope.
That is all.
