    Well, there already exist items in game to get avatars/pet boost to all stats. Unfortunately, avatar being in the nature of being easily resummonable doesn't need to "rage". Nor do they especially need a 2 hr duration. Think a 30sec duration would be more reasonable to get the "bump" whatever it is based off move.

    Hey what about a "Souleater" move for avatars, that consumes HP or MP of Summoner?

    That sounds terrible, by your logic Avatars don't need to have a Favor either.
    granted Favor is kind of useless imo, but i do like giving parties a nice boost to DA w/ ifrit, or crit rate w/ ramuh (although RR kinda makes that pointless) Diabolos Refresh has been handy in some situations, albeit not many.

    In most parties you try to keep 1 avatar out for its pacts, with items like the caller's necklace that feeds tp the longer their out, and the more tp they have the stronger the pact ( If magical) physical its true that gear is more important than tp. The recast would need to be 30sec-1min and even then it could get messy.

    A JA like the Op mentioned would be the polar opposite of the Favor we currently have, instead of weakening the avatar to give slightly decent buffs to the party you can make the avatar stronger making it more useful. The abilities given would scale up with time making 1 avatar a lot stronger than a fresh one. The Mp perp cost going up and the increased mp required for pacts is a great tradeoff, considering how Mp is damn near infinite in abyssea. Would give smn the edge they needed for quite awhile.

    Souleater doesn't sound like a good move to transfer to smn, smallest hp pool out of the jobs and the fact that it wouldn't add that much damage to blood pacts, at least not over a scaling buff like the Op mentioned. If it were off the Mp pool, well w/ a 3hit move like predator claws that would eat like 30% of ur mp, which could work but really doesn't seem as useful to me. Outside aby that could cause a lot of mp problems for jobs w/o the best gear. giving them Enspells like the Op imagined already makes their rather pitiful normal attacks a bit more appealing. unless its like, 5dmg a hit, would have to be relativly strong, scale with smn skill.
