SMN and SCH books always get a short end of the stick of just recolors of each others weapons, and of the two SCH having a book hits the job fantasy of a back line tactician far better then it does of a mobile spell caster invoking the power of primals.

As for what they could replace it with, there are some options in the FF history that could work, heck could even bring back one handed wands like what conjurer had back in ARR and stylize them to work better for SMN. But personally it would be an awesome time to do something like they did with Sage and make a more original weapon with some personality. Maybe something based around the gems to fit the aesthetic more.

Again, it would never happen. Just a random thought.
I’ve been asking for a new weapon for summoner since 2.0. The unfortunate reality is that it’s never going to happen. It’s definitely the worst weapon in the game. The artists honestly don’t even try.

The p4s weapons were all themes around glowing ancient text. What did we get? A white book with a white glowing circle in the front. We couldn’t even get white flowing text that floats out the book? Lazy.

I would be happened with 1 handed wands, or preferably a new weapon altogether. Summoners we’re created by the allagans. Why not some kind of technological weapon?
