Summoning Change: Essence Investment, Remove Limits
For magical summons, you could see the essence as being used to create the magic of that being. Battlesphere, etc.
In addition, summon limits (you can only summon four imps at a time, and only one familiar at a time, etc.) would be removed. A few could be kept for flavor (like buffing the familiar and keeping it only one; maybe have it help you with magic, getting stronger over time?) but the vast majority would be limited only by your max MP. If I'm correct, the less max MP you have, the slower it regenerates. So a summoner AND other_kind_of_magic_user would have to trade off summons and magic.
Naturally, there would be a way to "uncall" summons, regaining all the essence but none of the power.
