We could...That actually sounds cool, tho they should have a limited use or something, maybe evoke them in battle and use their signature move to do special damage.
And then fuck their LI in their face for extra damage
Say, they will float around mc as invisible to the naked eye spirits while out of combat once bound to mc through voodoo technique.
And then when in combat mc will use like.. 10-20 clay pieces to create a magic body for them to inhabit.
This clay body will last until end of combat, or destruction of the clay body after which they will return back to being spirits until called upon in the next combat.
This way they won't be abusable due to dependence on clay of which there will always be limited supply but still be a useful option when in tough combat situations. And since most of the time they will be in spirit form they will be able to talk to mc and comment on his actions without any interruption. An option to turn off their chatter would probably be a good idea for those who will find it annoying. Or make it so that they chat only at certain places and comment on certain actions.
Or indeed, you could do it like you propose as well.
Make them into an ability that will momentarily summon them in combat to unleash some strong move and then they will disappear right after and the option to summon them will be put on a long cooldown. Or maybe you could make it a once-per-battle option.
