It wouldn't just be cooler, it would be the way it's supposed to work. I'm very worried about this, because it really does ruin the class. It's meant to be a full caster, including when you're shapeshifted. The way they've implemented flaming sphere scares the crap out of me if they only way they can give you something you can use is a summoned object. This is a big problem now, but it will be an absolute disaster if druid can't use its bread and butter, call lightning, properly.
