I noticed a funny behavior from battle sprites: they can't be used when you're charging an attack.
Being a player who mostly uses charged attacks (read: charging Blitz Needle / Shiver continuously when fighting Vanaduke), I find my mer... shadow sprite quite useless. At least at its early levels. I took it for the poison status effect, hoping to have a free poison to vana right before shooting my bunch of arrows, but it is out of question - there's just no time for me to pause and use sprite in between my charged attacks (bomb - gun - bomb - gun).

Making knight able to use Battle Sprite companion whenever they desire so, and not only when they're NOT in a fight, would be of great benefit to every sprite user (in other words - all knights).

For a moment I thought about putting it into "bugs" section...

Yes, this is a good idea.

Yup. This is how I expected them to be and it baffles me that they aren't as such.

impractical problems

Here is the only problem I could find with this so hate me for bringing it up. The player has a point animation when they cast a BS skill. How can we point while charging a weapon? I get that we don't even need that but how would the BS know when to attack if we don't gesutre in some way to tell them to?
If you can solve this issue then +1.
For now +.5

Not sure if this counts but the minute I got my Drakon I tested out a arena-based pattern. Charge, fireball, charge, charge, fireball, etc. (Glacius charge). However, I couldn't charge right after I finished the pointing animation. I had to wait until the dragon had actually launched the fireball for me to charge.

waffle, you have 2 arms, you can point with the left hand.

@Thunder-the-bright

Do you want to hold a nitro up with one arm? It looks ridiculous, really.

Thunder-The-Bright

no, I want to hold a BAB up with one arm.
for bombs, we could have a shouting (previous:chouting) animation (zeddy's idea) or we could incline the arm a bit to show the direction.

EDIT: yes waffle, thanks for the feedback.
