So here is was last night bored out of my mind when this idea poped into my head about a character idea. A thrillseeker, pankster type. But that on it's own, i thought would not be enough to make a shadowrunner they needed to be special some how, so in poped another idea. What if this person was a Conjurer?

Then it hit me, my knowledge of the rules for spirits is lacking to say the least.

The conjuring part i think im ok with.

Conjure test (desired force of spirit) success's = services
Drain is a charisma (spirit force) vs (most commonly) M stun

Now i know there's diferent rules for Elementals and nature spirits. But for this (the character being a Shamanic Conjurer (Gecko)) Will stick with Nature spirits.

The part that gets me is the Domains. Now i know if im in a city i can't summon a spirit of the forest. But what if im on the streets of Seattle with tall buildings all round, is the sky open enough to summon a wind spirit?

And can a spirit (non great form) say use it's movement power on something it can see but is in another domain?

Also if im in a building and summon say a hearth spirit, then leave the building and come back is it still "waiting" for me? (I think yes with 0 services tho)

Ok. So here is our prankster stuck to the side of a building (140 floors up) graffitting the side of said building. He's curretly in the domain of the city spirits (no?) with the spirit using it's conceal power to make it so he doesn't get seen. However not 2 minutes before he had summoned wing spirit and told it that should he fall to use it's movement power to slow his fall so he would land safely (also what the likely hood of him landing in relative safty).

Is that a legal use of spirits? if not tell me where i went wrong please.

Ok im sure theres more questions that will come. but that will do for now.
