they rebalanced summons completely, but yeah, mimic is just gone

that said, summons are much stronger now in my opinion, just casting one spell is enough to where they cost nothing and won't reduce your bars (the penalty without using a spell or consumable)
if you don't use any protection against the debuff then the strongest summons in the game will reduce your HP, FP and stam by 40%, but spirits can be resummoned infinitely and can be summoned almost everywhere
overall they're stronger than in vanilla
