Through the metaphor
The summoner senses the spirits no one else can see and calls them forth into the world. The INFJ reads the same hidden layer in people—the feeling left unspoken, the current moving beneath the surface.
A summoner serves as a conduit, channeling a power far greater than themselves toward a single quiet purpose, holding the party to a vision only they can fully see. The INFJ likewise pairs deep empathy with a steady, long-range sense of where things must go.
But a summoner who is always the conduit pours their own strength out with every calling and rarely asks for any in return. Channeling for everyone else, they can drain themselves to nothing before naming their own need. The INFJ, too, tends to absorb others and keep their own voice tucked away.
Strengths & challenges in this light
Through this lens, the INFJ's strengths come down to sensing the unseen and channeling it toward a quiet, steady purpose. The challenges grow from the same root: always the conduit, they pour themselves out and forget to ask for anything back, which leads to bottling things up and burning out. For the summoner to keep calling, they need to name their own need and let the party restore the channel before it runs dry.
