Okay! So, rather than necessarily boosting subclasses at level 1 or putting Spellcasting at level 1, I am considering adding some version of the following:
Bound Servant
Starting at level 1, you can perform a 1 hour ritual to bind into your service a creature of an origin of your choosing; a beast, monstrosity, fey, fiend, or aberration. The Servant uses one of the statistics for one of; Servant of Air, Servant of Earth, Servant of Shadow, Servant of The Wood, which can be found below.
CR 1/8 or so statblocks. Not combat useful as is. Each has a feature named Empower Servant, where you use a spell a lot to give a boost based on spell level to the servant, scaling similarly to the Tasha’s summon spells, and a feature that allows you to cast a spell that would normally summon a single creature to instead transform your servant into that creature.
Basic concept seem sound?
