Unwired p101, under massive DoS attacks coordinated between multiple hackers and/or technomancers says that Agents and Sprites cannot participate in Teamwork Tests, but add +1 die for each one assisting to the prime character's dice pool (up to a +5 maximum). It doesn't seem logical that a player could aid a sprite's use of a power, but how about aiding a sprite's use of a complex form?

Well, it says they cannot participate in teamwork tests, and that would mean both as an assistant and as the prime person receiving the teamwork benefit, because both things would be participating in a teamwork test.

Ok -- I wondered if there was something else that I was missing in some other section of the rules. This was part of a coordinated DoS attack between multiple hackers/technomancers, so if each of them had like 5 agents, then that'd be 15 people pitching in on the teamwork test, which would be really out of control.

Does the same apply to spirits? Can magicians aid a spirit or have a spirit aid them on a test? Sprites and spirits generally seem to work the same, technically.
