I'll agree here, too. Summoning a watcher is one thing as its source
material is the energy of astral space and the astral mage is absolutely
swimming in that when he's projecting:) Any other kind of spirit,
however, requires a physical domain or source material to be summoned,
these are not present in a physical form on the astral plane (nothing is,
come to think of it).
