Monster of the Week / Summoned monster vs a minion -- or a monster ...

Loving what I see in the game so far, but got a question.
In Use Magic you can summon a monster. There's a chance that players, being players, will want to use said monster to fight combat worthy minions or the monsters.
So far my thoughts on this are:
Any other suggestions? As a heads up, I'm not looking for suggestion on how to avoid the situation, but more of a list of ideas for a potential outcome.
Basically, I can see that my players will notice this particular corundum in the rules and try to bring the situation up to see what the answer would be.

So far my thoughts on this are:
- The "monster" becomes a custom move like a Kick Ass move with a harm bonus.
- It becomes a variant of the Help Out move
- It becomes a secondary character the player controls with stats based on the results of the Use Magic roll.
- The monster becomes a weapon, complete with tags for range, harm and something creative like "clawed" or "winged."
