Well, it's almost exactly the same as the question that goes like:
"Can an astrally perceiving magician cast a sustainable spell on an
astrally projecting magician?"
And there's nothing in the rules to say you can't. The closest ruling is
that an astrally projecting mnagician cannot sustain spells. But whether
this is because it is physically (or magically as the case may be)
impossible to sustain spells from the astral, or whether it's becasue of the
intense concentration required to project astrally, no-one knows. However,
myself I don't allow it to be done. But if I did, I would not let the spell
last if one went to the metaplanes, that's for sure. As for Quickenings,
they don't suddenly die when you go astral, but they do not increase your
stats unless you are actually on the physical plane. So, in my view, one
could do it by all means, but it will only help the allys stats when the
thing is manifested. And they might even dissapear when the ally went back
to its home metaplane, or even when it just went astral (after all, when a
magician goes and astrally projects, he still leaves his body behind, but
when a spirit does, it takes its entire existence with it).
