Yes, but why ? this doesnt make any sence. A mage can sustain a spell from
the astral so why should an elemental be able to do the same thing. As for
it always having to follow the mage around, I dont see the reason why. I mean
a mage can cast Incr. Reflexes on a person (touch) and then go shopping
for all he cares. Sure the caster will have a +2 for all TNs, but that
is irrelevant.
