This hasn't come up in any of our play sessions yet as noone has really
tried a shaman/spirit runner yet. However, as a player who likes riggers
I would say that you get it once per challenge. This is based on the fact
that a player gets to decide for each challenge whether the rigger will
use the drone's or the rigger's stats. Since it states in the rules that
spirits and drone are essentially the same...

Regarding the Up and Over question, I would say that the spirit fails for
that challenge on a roll of 4+. Based again on the fact that spirits
fall under the gear heading of magic.
