Is this Summoner too powerful and too complicated for a pen and paper JRPG board game?

There are actually 4 more spells, but I ran out of room to post them.

This char is more demanding. With a lot of imagination or skill, the Summoner is fun. And the right group & game master.

I'm going to rebalance her summons so they are all "different, but equal". I was just throwing something together for a demo here.

[AI Opinion]

The Summoner seems quite powerful in your JRPG board game, with a wide array of abilities that control and manipulate the battlefield. While the variety adds depth and strategic options, some abilities might need balancing to ensure fairness. For instance, the ability to control an enemy or put them to sleep significantly impacts gameplay. Consider adjusting difficulty checks or limiting the number of times these abilities can be used. It’s also important to compare the Summoner’s abilities with those of other characters to ensure overall balance in the game. 🎲
