When a spirit of Man uses his Innate Spell optional power it counts as a critter power, correct? That means that it does not incur a sustaining penalty and the continual use of a power does cosr multiple tasks. Does that mean that your spirit of Man can sustain powerful spells on you for as long as he's around or do the Spell Sutaining rules for Bound spirits apply here too?

Speaking of spell sustaining, if a Bound spirit incurs a -2 mod to a mage while active then what would be the point of using tasks to sustaining spells? I know that this is an optional rule only mentioned in a sidebar, but does anyone actually use it?
