Is it just me, or can you take task spirits in a possession-based tradition, add in some channeling metamagic, and then completely re-define what the term jack-of-all trades means?

Nope, it's not just you. On the other hand, materialzing spirits are much more fun if you bound a few.

Drain heals, given the opportunity. My credstick balance after a shopping spree at World-O-Skillsofts, not so much.

Also what about extended tests with a time interval long enough to prevent a spirit from performing it before dawn/sunset? You want to pay 500 :nuyen: per skill point to bind it, then only get <success> uses out of it? Skill softs aren't sounding so expensive after all?

Skillsofts have no drain.
Guns have no drain. |

It is also another mark for the multiple spirit sustaining penalty optional rule.
