So, due to the summoning costs change Summon Storm and Astral Aegis aren't very useful.

At level 60, a youkai takes 17 FP to upkeep. Most Grand Summoners will regenerate this every turn, so it's not much of an issue. However, keeping six youkai at once is 102 FP per turn, reduced to 85 with the help of FP regeneration.

Using up 85 FP a turn, the average mage will run out of FP in four or five turns. This gives them three or four turns, as Youkai do not act on the first turn, and considering the cost of Summon Storm itself, reduces the duration to about three overall. From full FP. With the summoner doing nothing that would cost FP.

Now, the cost of maintaining Youkai isn't the issue. You shouldn't be able to maintain a party of six indefinitely, and we all know how unfair Summon Storm antics were before the nerf. However, Summon Storm is an old relic from that time, and needs to be changed to actually be useful. Astral Aegis as well, though it's less of a priority.

But I don't have any ideas for this! So suggest some.
