Alright folks: I would like to ask for a quick sanity check here. What we
have above are TWO Astral Quests, with ratings 6 and 7 respectively,
presumably within a short timespan. That's going to REALLY suck, given the
sort of Drain and Damage involved. Just being any particular class of
character wont' make this easier, though a Conjuring Focus might. I just want
to underscore the fact that the summoning itself is _not_ something that people
can just do casually.

What's more, Nature spirits are not quoted as having Remote Service as one of
their powers (only elementals are), which should mean that the summoner must
have LOS for them to act. Do we want to relax this restriction?
