There's a few things to talk about with the Djinn I noticed while looking over the Golden Sun pages, so lets try to knock them all out and hope I didn't miss anything.
First, I spotted a mistake, very minor one not a huge deal but:
"Waft: Grants the targeted Adept temporary invulnerability."
That's actually Haze that does that, Waft forces a target into falling asleep.
But, on the topic of Haze's ability, it causes the invulnerability by making the target invisible and having attacks and powers phase right through them harmlessly. We already have the Golden Sun cast down for invisibility but nothing for some sort of Intangibility, which this seems to be, so an addition of Intangibility (Via Haze) seems right. Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding screenshots or video to show the intangibility effect, only Wiki descirptions and a picture of Haze right BEFORE it uses its effect.
And back to Djinn clean-up, there's a LOT of Djinn in the games. We only list what are considered 'notable' Djinn, and that's for the best so no one is trying to write out all 72 for the original generation, but that does mean we're not giving the full arsenal for these characters, and a few unlisted Djinn might be interesting for certain situations. Eddy restores other Djinn which would be importaint for long-game fights, Gasp puts the opponent on a timer for how long they have left to live before a Soul/Death manip effect insta-kills them, Lull compells the fight to temporarially stop which could be useful for interrupting foes with telegraphed abilities or give the characters some breathing/thinking time, Mold forces a target to start attacking its allies or, if it has none, attacking itself instead of fighting the Adept which any time your foes aren't fighting you is a good thing, but can also take other summon-users by surprise when thier summons turn on them.
All of these effects aren't 'notable' because in Golden Sun's game mechanics these tend to be a bit clunky or situational and aren't used by the community as often. But in VS debates they could see more use in certain matchups, and it'd be unfair if they're brought to the discussion without an easy way for people unfamiliar with the series to have known they even existed. I sudgest we should add links to complete Djinn lists that the Golden Sun Wiki has prepared under the Djinn sections so that the lesser talked about Djinn are still easy to find for people unfamiliar with the verse.
