The Force Loss associated with Aid Sorcery isn't permanent. If an
elemental is reduced to 0 force, it vanishes, but it may be called
again if it is still bound and owes services. When re-called, the
elemental returns at full force. A mage can get extra dice equal to
the elemental's force for as many of that elemental's services that
she chooses to.
Back in first edition, there was also a rule that caused a permanent
Force Loss in an elemental (much like the long-term spell sustaining
does in more recent editions), but that was for buying automatic
successes on the sorcery test. Since automatic successes were dropped
in subsequent editions, so was the rule.
