Avatar's, now here's a thought.

[Project Glitch]

Avatar's should have a gui control system so you can just control them if you want to instead of moving yourself to move them, and be able to give them items to make the stronger like armor or weapons to increase their ac, wc, and damage output.

The gui could just be the arrows (up, down, left, and right), and maybe an X to destroy/unsummon the avatar.
And of course make the window dockable or moveable so the player can put it wherever they like it.
