But, if the arm of dual natured being is cut off, is the arm dual
natured? David Thompson is correct in that there are no rules for
this event. IMO the arm would no longer be dual natured, would be
dead, and would not have an aura. But that's just my opinion :)

This makes a very good point. I think the spirit of intent (so to
speak :) is that astral damage is fueled by the intent of the
attacker (willpower) or raw energy (in the case of a spell). In the
event that a dual natured object comes in contact with an astral
presence and there is no intent to cause damage, then the dual
natured object should do no more than push the astral presence
aside.
