Materialized spirits are dual natured. Their modified physical stats, while
materialized, apply to astral interaction as well and all dual natured
creatures use their Combat Pool, not Astral Combat Pool, when engaged in
astral combat. For spirits, this can have a significant difference e.g.. an
air elemental may gain two more Pool dice for astral combat when
materialized. Some spirits (e.g.. earth elementals) are much tougher
(though slower) when interacting with the astral while materialized e.g..
resists astral combat damage with Body = F+4 dice.
