I'm thinking, create one summonable thug or hero for each of the seven virtues of bushido. This can be treated like summoning elemental royalty, where you cast one spell and get a randomly selected unique unit. This could help fill the void of some of the higher end oni summons that LA Jomon gets and add some extra flavor to the nation. EA Hinnom already does something like this with their spell Release Lord of Civilization, though I'm sure we'd want these summons to be lower research and less world-shattering.

Modding that requires repurposing an existing similar spell. There's no way to create a new 'summons one of several unique creatures' spell from scratch.

Hadn't even thought that far down the line yet.
