After all the mage could do so if they wanted to, and spirits do have edge.
Plus, generally speaking, spirits don't want to be summoned. They'll at least get forced to do something they otherwise wouldn't have wanted too. At the worst they could get bound for eternity guarding something, or who knows what. This could also be an excuse to get shamen to actually follow that whole bit where shamen often agree to do something for the spirit they summoned (betcha forgot all about that huh? see p179 main book). Either they agree to something the gamemaster specifies as being desired by the spirit(and a reasonable pain for the player) or the spirit uses edge on the summoning test. For elementalists maybe mages either have to offer their "servants" payment in the form of ritual materials like in previous editions or the elementals use their edge. I think that would add some flavor to the process, increase the variety of forces that spirits are summoned in, and maybe tone things down a bit. |
