[Dev1235] Job Adjustments

It sounds like Atomos is just a normal spell with a timer, yeah. I doubt it can steal SP effects if that's the case, so basically it's just an extra dispel every 60 seconds. The buff effect is meh because aside from the fact that you won't be able to choose what you're stealing, how often do you need to actually steal some beneficial effect anyway, if you're in a group you probably already have all the important buffs up, and if you're soloing you're not going to waste your time dismissing your pet and waiting for Atomos's slow ass to steal you a protect or whatever. Occasionally you might get a useful attack boost for your party or something but that's probably just a bonus.

...you're not going to waste your time dismissing your pet and waiting for Atomos's slow ass to steal you a protect or whatever.

If we look at Atomos in full optimism mode (which will no doubt be dashed to pieces on the patch day), it's possible that we don't even have to dismiss our current avatar to use it. All the other summoning magic spells explicitly state "Summons X to fight by your side", whereas Atomos doesn't. If we're going with the hypothesis that it's a targetted spell like Odin (though hopefully without the Astral Flow requirement), we may end up with a normal non-pet-calling spell with a Summoning Magic graphical effect of "summoning" and "dismissing" Atomos. That would be nice.
