I actually don't understand why this is really that big of an issue; you can already do what's proposed by OP and your active youkai is restrained by your base faith regardless.

The number of hard counter youkai is fairly small and with even eight slots you can keep a decent chunk of them if not all for hotswapping if you really wanted to. If there's anything that needs to be addressed, it should be the fact that these sync mind effects are strong enough to hard counter someone. But this isn't really the thread for that.

So I'm all for the suggestion, it's a nice quality of life that would make summoner more accessible; no need to gatekeep it behind arbitrary stat requirements.
