It strictly explains the power is not a beneficial one. I interpret the
power as the target can no longer act upon his surrounding environment. The
world may affect him, but he can't affect it.

To me, in this sense, an alienated magician would no longer be able to
command his summoned spirit (in order to have it drop the alienation). This
could end as a very messy affair to have the spirit alienate you, and hand
your well being over to it like that...you think? Can you say instant Free
Spirit...I knew you could.
