no, the spirits honestly suck.
i havent played much of smn, but know a few L75's
far too much mana drain for what little they do.
i'm told from veyr rich people that the light and dark ones are kinda nice, but your not likely to get them, soon if ever.

in the dunes, you'll be carbie pulling and main/duo healing.

if you can get to norg (or have someone pick it up for you)

you might want to pick up earth, but only as something thats not carbie for summoning skill grinding.

if smn is going to be your main (or if you dont have a higher level char todo prime battles)
as soon as you get to 20, get the fame, and take the time to do the mini fights.
with a little prep work, (and waiting for the right day) they are fairly easy if you know what your doing.

elemental spirits do have a little use in them. lol my reason for liking them is they are a fast cast spell and help a ton when you need something to get a chasing mob off your back lol. Also light spirit is kinda a cool one to have since its almost like having a mini whm with you. Its kinda random but can give you buffs and cures that are equal to a whm of your lvl rather than just the whm you only have as sub. (i.e. the spirit will have a higher protect than you can give yourself. kinda a nice lil thing when getting rdy to solo or farm or whatever) Do keep in mind though these do cost more mp than worth so not a good idea for regular combat. I suggest picking up a cheap one for now just in case you need a quick get away plan and definitley do the lvl 20 solo battles(when you get to 20) to get the other summons. Those battles are still to this day one of the more fun things i got to do.
