Sigh.
In GS as a whole you get Djinn and have to spread them out evenly, right? You can have them as either "set" or "standby", one of these modes allowed for them to do something different than usual. In battle, there was always a little djinn icon beside the magic icon (I think, I'm trying to remember exactly what it was like). While mixing Djinn in the menu was a necessity both for completion and exploration, specifically using them in battle was never a necessity. And that is what I mean. I used their "strength" from the mix and match to mash the attack button, and I used the magic they enabled, so you could say that you have to use them, but I don't think of anything less than specifically calling upon them as using them.
In GS3, when you use their specific skills like "Sap" they go into standby mode immediately after. If you want to use them in battle, you have to use a turn to "re-equip" them into set mode. The picture infection just posted shows them in standby mode. I don't know if it worked the same in GS1/2 because I never, ever used them in battle.
I should also note that I only own GS1. Isaac understands what I'm saying and is informing me about the secret bosses with some Djinn Storm skill (I never fought them) that are impossible to defeat without using summons. So I guess given that it would be understandable why you'd question my beating the game without using them. I just powered through the main story of GS1.
