My biggest QoL wish for SMN:

Make the base carbuncle just a cosmetic spell.

Reasons:
- It literally doesn't do anything in combat. He actually doesn't even face the direction you're aiming your spells lol... He just stares at you like that cat begging for food while you're cooking. I'd also rather not have it with me in combat as his animation popping in and out (when you summon other stuff) is a bit distracting.

- Makes Radiant Aegis (the shield) unreliable as sin when you realize you can't use it during a key moment of a fight because there's a primal doing an attack right at that moment, or a Demi phase going on.

- Makes Searing Light hard to use in case something happens and it drifts because of the point above.


It would be cool if SL and RA would actually be cast by using Alphinaud's old Diamond and Obsidian carbuncles as their cast animations.
