I keep my suggestion.

Oh well... Perhaps I didn't read quite well... :)
I think that a conjuring adept should be able to conjure ally spirit. I
don't think an adept could only conjure ally spirit. This would be quite
limitated and I think that conjuring of an ally is some kind of mystic
achievment for conjuring so, IMO, it should require that you conjure less
powerful beings (like elementals or nature spirits).

An other way would be to make it spend spirit energy to get a new form. He
has 3 forms but must reduce its spirit energy by 2 points. The other powers
could also be buyed with force points and/or spirit energy.

Nope IMO. I think that the power of a spirit is created by the interaction
between astral energy and physical plane. That means that a spirit needs to
be manifested to use a power. And its target needs to be in the physical
plane. There could be exceptions with mental powers but since movement is
physical...
