The TN is still 8 to get any services from it, so he wouldn't get many
services. And they're limited because they can't leave their own
domain - generally this means you've got to be at your target
location before the spirit will be much use. And you can't have
more than one spirit summoned per domain at any one time.

A Phys Ad with reasonable melee skill will be able to chop a Force 8
spirit up pretty easily, too.

And every now and then the area that the spirit being summoned is,
will be polluted and toxic. This means he's likely to get a Toxic
spirit (GM's decision) from the successful summoning - which won't
be under his control, and will probably attack with nasty special
effects.

Oh, and we changed the rules to limit shamans to only being able to
summon a total number of spirits equal to their charisma, in any
given sunrise-sunset period.

Hope this helps,
