That's my idea too.

As per the normal astral combat rules: in essence, melee combat using the
magician's Sorcery or Unarmed Combat skill and the spirit's Reaction
(because it's a critter), which equals its Force. See page 148 of SRII:
"Combat with magical creatures follows the general rules for the
environment, physical or astral, where the battle is taking place."
The magician would cause (Charisma)L damage, either Stun or Physical as
the character chooses, while the spirit does (Force)M, also Stun or
Physical as the spirit chooses (SRII p. 147).

I don't see why a spirit should not have a normal condition monitor like
everyone else. It's not mentioned anywhere I can remember that they don't,
so that must mean they do :)
