I would say you can borrow anything you want at your leisure. Who knows what
else. As for the Shark, well, yeah, "Land Shark" for some reason flies to
mind...

Been there, done that...

OH yeah, a perfect way to start a good relationship with a Familiar...NOT!!!
Just wait until it decides to roll all over your butt... :)

The GM can do whatever he wants, but what works for the game could well be
something else.

Allies that are -Free- while in Inhabitation mode are stuck in said body for
the remainder of their earthly days. As for a Free Spirit can pull off???
Imagination ???

IF the person attempting to use said knows the "True Name" of said
individual/entity, they they can use the Sense Link (example of which is given
in Blood in the Boardroom Sourcebook concerning the Free Spirit "Buttercup")
with the being. Aid Power is probably along the same lines. Telepathy may or
may not be changed, that is up to the GM directly.
As for gaining said "powers" for a being, perhaps make it a "Design
Requirement" for either the Ritual of Summoning or the Ritual of Change. It
would probably have a karma cost to it as well, my suggestion is to make most
powers either equal to the cost for "Edges" from the SR-Companion (ie; 10
points of karma per point value of the edge) -OR- a flat rate equal to the
spirit's force times 3 or 5 points of karma per power.
All IMO of course :)
