Automatons and buffs

If Embrava applied to Automaton it would be great.

The automaton wouldn't buff itself, it would cast a spell on the master which also affects itself.

It would be nice if the WHM automaton had access to spells like Protectra 5, Shellra 5 and Curaga 5. Would be a real time and MP saver in party situations. Also I'm a little annoyed by the fact that we have to deploy our automaton for it to cast any enhancing magic of any kind. They really should make it act similar to light spirit when it's not deployed since, if I remember, light spirit is the only pet in the game where it will cast spells, both enhancing and cures, when it's not engaged with a mob.
