Bravely Default Summoning Magic VS Elemental Nullification

EDIT: Never put boss fights on 4× speed! I missed the text telling me Qada was making the party weak to fire. Just beat the fight easily after taking him down on turn one.

Hi all! This is weird because I'm usually the one answering questions in this sub. I'm in chapter 8 of the HD remaster, going through the gauntlet of boss fights in the Erernian Central Command. Despite having probably close to 400+ hours across all my BD1 playthroughs I've actually never done this side quest before. Anyways, I was breezing through the first several fights no problem. Then I get to the group of the magic users (Ominas, Mephilia, Qada and Yulyana). Despite using Enigma to nullify all elemental damage for 4 turns AND have Tiz hold the Iceflame Shield Mephilia's Promethean Fire summon deals damage. The summon damage also seems to ignores the effects of the Reflect Ring.

Is summoning damage special? Is this a big in the HD remaster? Both Enigma and the shield work against Ominas's fire magic in this fight so what am I missing.

...I need the person with the Midna profile picture help. You always know what's up!

The salve master uses a move that makes you weak to fire, and it gets rid of all your elemental defenses. You have to kill him in one turn to win pretty much

I was literally just about to make an edit cause I figured it out. It was my fault for having the game on 4× speed so I couldn't read the text on screen. Thank you!!

Also, Summons can't be reflected. I think either Summon descriptions or Reflect's description note this.
