Calling an elemental is an Exclusive Complex Action. Summoning elementals
is an Exclusive Action which takes (force) hours.

Um, I said "when appropriate", and I meant "when appropriate". And an
appropriate time to enforce legality codes is when a LS mage sees you
surrounded by a group of high force elementals (the magical equivalent of
toting around a PAC down the main street).
Another thing to note is that astral signatures last for (force) hours
with both spells and spirits; this means that if the mage uses especially
high force spirits then he's leaving behind long-lasting astral evidence.
