This topic is basically what the title says: what are the best uses for the known types of spirits? Do some of you have some real cool ways to make them as effective as possible? Something better than "attack the guys over there". When do you let them materialize, what powers do you think are useful and which ones are not? How do you attack with air and water spirits that have negative modifiers to strenght in materialized form, etc....

I would also need your opinion for this specific situation: During our last run we had to reach a rooftop before some enemy-helicopters reach it. Our goal was a drone laying on that specific rooftop but unfortunately an enemy-mage was waiting in the astral-space and therefore my spirits went *poof* before they could reach the drone. I am not capable of astral projection (mystic-adept) and had no chance to give them spell protection. Any thoughts on this?
