You need to keep leveling a summon if you want to keep using it. It's really that simple. Un-leveled or under-leveled summons get torn apart. You can't utilize Wisps' stun ability if you don't keep them leveled. They will almost never stun anything if their stun level is too low. High level Wisps do have pretty good DPS in mob form, but their stun ability is what makes them shine. Don't gimp the poor guys if you're going to be using them.

Zealous affects all summons, including Spirits. It just doesn't help them as much as Contracts. Regardless, I completely regret getting it. It's the one thing I'd reset out and change about my Spirit Summoner's build. With those 135 points, I could have kept my Murker usable. I may still fix that mistake. I would only consider getting Zealous if you're a Contract Summoner and really can't find another use for the points. Spirit Summoner like me? Don't do it. Hybrid Summoner? Maybe, but I'd say no. I don't like the skill. It doesn't make enough of a difference to be worth it, and it even costs Cubes.

I'm a Hybrid. Freet and Louise are my Contract ass kickers, while Aquarius, Glarine, and Spirit King are my main Spirits. Kasijas is an obvious choice. All 5 of these summons are maxed so they remain powerful; Murker and Flame Hulk will be kept at 5 just so I can get Spirit King. The dilemma was that I heard people keep Wisp at level 11 for mass summoning, and that Zealous Creature isn't that hot on anything not a Contract summon. Your answer helped my question though, because if I only have 2 Contract summons up most of the time 135 SP for more power feels a little lackluster. If it powered up Spirits equally i may have considered keeping it. Looks like I'll be keeping Lasher at level 1 then, so my Wisps have a chance to still rock out even at the level cap.
