Ah... You added the Threat Rating to their Magic Rating and Magic Pool.

Strictly speaking, nature spirits can't attack, as there is no damage code
listed. However, as this makes spirits relatively weak, I use the
(converted) damage codes from First Edition. (I also use First Edition
Grimoire rules for Greater Form Nature Spirit powers. Second Edition is
_so_ wimpy.)

Alternatively, you can just let them attack as a normal person would:
