In reference to the question of what happens when the Ally goes free. Yes
the mage does lose this point of magic. If the Ally sticks around this is
still a benifit to the mage because you still have a fairly powerfull
astral entity as a friend and protector. If the Ally does not stick
around the mage will probably try to get his point of magic back by
banishing the former Ally. I don't have the rule book with me but I seem
to remember that if the former Ally is permanently destroyed then the
conjuring mage gets their one point of magic back.

As a side note to those with Allies. How many of you summoned them as
part of an initiation. I am curious because the book says that you don't
lose the point of magic initially invested in them when you do it this
way, and in addition the ally is probably more loyal than otherwise.
