Oooo, let's do the fourth one, I like it too! Now I've just gotta pick a character, write a bit of description, and get us a judge. @Innue you free to judge?
Yes, I can.

Mostly Janna is best summoner name. Sadly, Project, that is mine.

Yes, I can.
The reason for conflict isn't necessarily big for me. Shio is established as someone that must overcome the challenges presented to her, so any character would work.
<Snipped quote by Innue>
May i have a link to Shio's sheet, or at least some sort of insight into her personality/backstory? Knowing what kind of character they are would help me pick one of my own that i'd find fitting; it would be more natural for the two to have an inherent reason to fight, such as conflicting personalities or beliefs.
I'm translating a sheet from a specific self-constructed universe, so I'll give you a brief rundown.
Shio is an Atrenian exorcist. She's from a family of exorcists and is on/completed her Rites, which are a set of challenges for Atrenian youth which mirror the path of an ancient summoner from thousands of years ago (all Atrenians can summon beings they have tied themselves to). Personality wise, she grew up in a rigid environment from her father which dictated strict training in order to overthrow another family that had taken control over their place in the Rites (their family had historically set up one of the challenges). So she hasn't had much of a childhood and is sort of socially inept. Her strong belief is in sending spirits to rest and is generally offended by their use in magic.
<Snipped quote by Innue>
Then i believe i'd have to change characters after all. What should i be aiming for - a level of power similar to Ijok's, or slightly lower?
Similar or lower is fine. This was just an instance of happenstance in regards to how certain spells would function. If it wasn't for that set of spells, then Shio probably would have struggled against Ijok without significant modification.
The downside to Atrenian magic is that all of it has pretty strict function.
<Snipped quote by Innue>
Unless Shio can pump enough energy into her exorcism techniques to make it the magical equivalent of a nuke, Ijok can counter with his own power. After all, he's possessing an inanimate object that's tightly bound to him and does not exert any sort of repulsive force, as the body of a living being may have, meaning that's he's certainly free to fight against any sort of magical technique that tries to break the bond between him and the conduit.
If she can call upon the power of a deity, then indeed, i'd have to change characters - but otherwise, Ijok is a rather unorthodox spirit in this sense.
All Atrenian magic is derived from Akasha or another deity level being in order to achieve specific functionality. So her Kuji-kiri spell would, at 9 instances of contact, invoke the power of Akasha.
<Snipped quote by Innue>
Cool. I'll be off to sleep in about an hour or two though, so the match itself will have to be set up tomorrow either way.
Actually, do you have another character that may work better?
To make one of Shio's abilities make sense in a general universe may make her too strong against him since he is technically a spirit and she's an exorcist. >.>
That works and will give me time to modify Shio appropriately. Her abilities are specific to the functionality of a designed universe and need a lot of fixing to make work in a general setting.
Okay, then give me a little bit. I should be able to make Shio work. I have to translate the functionality of some abilities into more general terms.
<Snipped quote by Innue>
I could use a different character myself, if you'd like me to. There's two i think would end up slightly less powerful - or at least less tricky to deal with - than Ijok, and i already have their powers thought out; all that's left is to write them.
The difficulty may be that I don't necessarily understand what he looks like. Is he just a floating crystal?
