Ask for the ability to choose the spells.
This would be the obvious solution, but at the same time there would also be little point to being able to choose what they cast. The Avatars already can cast a few tiers of magic that the Spirits are capable of.. The Spirits have access to more magic overall, yes, but then that makes the spells the Avatars cast rather pointless. (Why bother with the Avatar which takes longer to summon, if you can cast the same magic and more with the Spirit?)

The fact they're autonomous isn't entirely the problem, it's that they're stupid most of the time, and that they have a ridiculously high perp cost to maintain. (Higher than that of the Avatar's, up to a certain level, which doesn't even make sense.) I'm not honestly sure what would be the ideal solution to them, but I do think lowering the perp cost (or even eliminating it) would be a step in the right direction.. Beyond that I don't know, an attack command so that you can at least choose the target they go after would be a decent improvement if coupled with a lower cost though.
