I dont think that a force 10 elemental has much to fear from spells. Not
to mention that its probably so quick (in the astral) that it'll beat the
brains out of any spell tossed its way. And as the elemental is not
manifesting you (the mage) got nothing to fear.
As for the services, well you can kiss all your services goodby. I was
thinking more along the lines of dedicated service, you know were you
give up all your services. The elemental would loose one force point
per day, but that shouldnt be a problem. Most runs last 2 or 3 days
tops. And yes the elemental can sure sustain it and fight at the same
time, not that anyone would be dumb enough toduke it out with a
force 10 elemental in the astral. And even if that happens, you
can always project and gang up on the attacker, can you say *ouch* :)
