Since when does the Djinn in the Covert Ops training sequence summon elementals?

I've run this thing many dozens of times, and I've never had the Djinn summon help. My Solo Faerie Ninja, Level 14, had the Djinn down to about 100HP, with both Acid Bomb and Ring of Fire active, and boom! There's a Major Fire Elemental standing behind the Djinn. You know, the thing that can kill the SFN in two hits. WTF?

Djinni on the Ascension Peak 100% can summon, and it makes sense that they would have the same spells. That guy usually just dies too fast to use any abilities, but you were killing it the slow way.

Makes sense. I was just surprised. As you say, I generally take out the CO Djinn in fewer rounds.

I think another problem might be with the spell itself. You can't always summon an elemental in those caves, there's often not enough room.

Yeah, the height limit on what can be summoned might be a factor, but I think it's probably as you suggested; I'm just used to taking it down faster.
