Just make it a great form and it can pass domain borders. So what
about this idea: Summon a great form spirit at night and tell him just before
dawn to go around the earth once and to be here again just after
sunset.

If I'm right you can have more than one great form nature spirit. So
if you need to protect a building for instance: Summon 2 mighty
powerful great form spirits (one at night and one during the day)and
tell them to guard the building for the night/day. Just before
dawn/sunset they should do a little trip around the earth and be here
again after sunset/dawn. This way spirits would last forever.

P.S. I don't think it's a good idea to make any spirit last forever so
I would think we should rather introduce this "they dissappear
whenever it's sunset/dawn wherever they were summoned" concept. This
would somehow reflect the link they got to their terrain.
