Congratulations. I now agree with you on the grounding through dual
creatures. You may now party, or whatever.

Of course... this doesn't include elementals or spells. The 'instant of
astral perception' .... well the link there is partial, as the
explanation on 149 explains. Also, the statement is that Spellcasting
doesn't provide the necessary link. Guess a full astral perception is
needed, or a duality. So if the total act of Spellcasting doesn't provide
the link, then one step in the act cannot do it. The act of sustaining,
as well, only establishes a partial link to astral space. A full link is
necessary, where the mage is fully percieving.

As for elementals, there are two types of living creatures on the astral.
Dual and astral creatures. Spirits have two types of forms, astral and
manifest. Where is it said that they're dual when manifested, or is that a
house rule?
