I really don't like the idea of dissipation. I always saw summons as friends, i wish that i was able to buff the fairy or fusion with her to buff myself.

This is me.
I don't like the idea of "eating" her, even if it's said in jest. Imagine forging a bond with someone, but kicking them to the curb whenever it's convenient. Something about that just sits wrong with me. Mechanics aside, the feel/aesthetic just FEELS wrong. Even if you think she's a mindless automaton (the lore suggests otherwise) that is just some of your aether you've temporarily split off and made into a slave such that you're just drawing it back into yourself, _I_ don't think that, and so it still feels wrong and like a <top10animebetrails> to hit the button.
I'd rather they just STOP removing Eos entirely. A 3 min CD that gives you 3 stacks of AF and increases healing magic potency by 10% (while leaving Eos on the field) would be entirely fine and not overpowered, so we should just do that.
EDIT:
Also this, this would be cool.Personally, I'd happily throw away Dissipation in favour of bringing back the Quickened Aetherflow trait, it still gives back some Aetherflow that would've been lost from Dissipations removal (not fully, but close enough) and gives us another spare button. From there I'd rather distribute that lost healing power to Seraph, she feels underwhelming as the lvl 80 capstone. Having her version of Whispering Dawn and Fey Illumination be stronger would make a lot of sense, and boosting them by that lost 20+% would make them feel good to use instead of just having her be an AoE shield dispenser.
.
Hm...
OP, I don't want to shoot down your idea (too hard). I think having ideas and sharing them is good. So I don't mean this to cow you out of doing so. I DO think what you suggested is a nice idea. It addresses the mechanical deficiency of using Dissipation. So by all means, keep thinking of ideas, posting them, and engaging with conversations.
...but speaking for myself personally, I personally have less issue with Dissipation mechanically (though I DO have issues with it there) and more an issue with it thematically/ideologically, if that makes sense? So the fix, to me, needs to address that.
