Thank all of you for your replies (damn I am slow. Been thinking a lot.)Â
From what I have been reading it seems that the trance could be used as an alternative way toward the actual egi-summoning (with a healthy dose of own imagination.) The reason the dreadwyrm trance is needed is because Bahamut is way too strong than that anyone could make an egi out of his essence. I believe the reason why the trance is so short, only for deathflare (which is of course still amazing, like any master spark-like spell), one could maybe see that as another limitation? The trance only able to be upheld for so short a time because of the strength of the original primal?
If that were the case, it'd be possible to hold a trance for a "weaker" primal like Ifrit or the other pals for longer?Â
I may be getting way too anime with this, but the idea of using a trance to add some nifty asthetic additions on the character for the duration of the trance (garuda wings anyone?).
This then leads me to the one thing I have mainly been having gripes with.Â
Since the base of a summoner is always the arcanist, one will always use arcanist spells. Normally not a problem, however the sheer myriad of possibilities is daunting. The decay/toxin/general DoT we see ingame are not really my characters style. I have been running in circles for the last couple of days about it, from ideas of using summoned swords as projectiles, Aether-bolts for the lack of a better term, more something graspable, decisive. I am less in the dark of what I could do, but more about what people would be willing to accept.Â
And the last part, linking those two together would be the simple question of if such a trance could be shown by influencing the normal spells she casts (normal bolts of aether become fire-aspected or wind aspected, so on and so forth)
I apologize if I made anyone cringe, been getting a little out of the ordinary by working on this. Thanks for reading and I am looking forward to any responses.
