Using spirit powers

[PhilHibbs]

Is there a limit to how long a shaman can keep a spirit active using its bonus? The rules don't give a time limit, is it purely that the spirit is vulnerable in this state? Can a shaman just have, say, a Tenacious Life Ivy Spirit up all the time giving her a permanent Resilience bonus?

No, yes, yes.

Can an integrated elemental be attacked or dismissed?

Also vaguely related - when a shaman is off catching spirits on the Spirit Plane, can she access her fetch's magic points? I don't think she could in AHRQ, but the list of abilities in RQ2 allows it by implication (in that another power is qualified "if the fetch is in the same place" but MP access is not thus qualified).

Yes. If it is not in a fetish or not on the spirit plane then it is vulnerable.

My original intention was that MP transfer was localised. However you can play it either way.
