Lets say there is a free spirit, lets say a city spirit.

It's force is 3, and it's spirit energy is 2

is it's intelligence 3 or 5?

MITS page 114 state '...a free forest spirit with a force of 5 and a spirit energy of 5 has physical attributes based on a total force of 10." (bold is mine)

So, the question is, what would the mental attributes be?

Actually, what it says is:
QUOTE (mits @ 114)
When a free spirit uses a spirit power that is based on Force, add the spirit's current Spirit Energy to its Force. For example, a free fire elemental with Force 4 and Spirit Energy 3 uses its innate flamethrower spell as though it were Force 7. The physical forms of Free spirits also benefit from this bonus. For example, a free forest spirit with Force 5 and Spirit Energy has physical Attributes based on a total Force of 10.

Emphasis mine.

So, mental Attributes are Force, or 3.

Yep and nope, essence is six if it can materalise a animal or human body. Magic is tricky cos they dont cast spell like metahumans, they are mana incarnte so don't take drain so theres no magic stat per say.

Hmm, I must have missed the part about essence. Have a page reference by any chance?

per se - it's from some foreign language or something.

I agree Free spirits do not take drain when they use Sorcery - but I believe they cannot cast a spell of higher force than their Magic attribute? Or maybe that only applies to allies who become free spirits. I would think Force does for a spirit just what Magic does for a metahuman - but I don't have my books to hand just now.
