[Ryu-Kazuki]

There's nothing balancing about cutting the Summoner class' gimmick just because you think they "master" everything, when they don't. Every Evocation has major disadvantages to them, which have already been stated multiple times. Balance is necessary when something may be OP to the point its unfair, but the majority of these skills hardly are that, and to even get them to do anything worthwhile, you need to spend time leveling your youkai as well as FP -and- youkai management in combat to use them effectively.

This suggestion only benefits the anti-Summoners, and they don't have a hard time against the Summoner, so why is this thought to be necessary? It's only going to hurt a rather undesired class more than it needs to be just to give those against them an easy time against the Summoner, who already isn't difficult to beat (it's not easy, but it's not impossible either). That's hardly balance at all.

Also, for Aquarian youkai;

Drowned Woman
Snow Crow
Yukki-Ona
Asrai
Haiku

That's five youkai with 4 different affinities, which with this suggestion would cost 28 SP. And in turn would apply to other elements when more youkai come out. You shouldn't have to spend 29 SP just to properly use five youkai.
