First of all, I'd suggest not getting Free Spirits and Elementals mixed
up/backwards with regards to the 28 day thing. Secondly, yes, they can be
dismissed remotely as well, as long as an outstanding service was still
available by the magician in question.
BTW folks, just to point something out to everyone in question. Going to
sleep at night also means a character is unconscious, so there is a mild
inconsistency to that ruling with regards to "character being unconscious".
Yes, I do realize that it most likely means "against ones will" or "of
unnatural causes", but if you also realize that it *might* mean a service is
spent in order to have the elemental in question wait out the next period
until said magician is back in action, it would explain how a service is
used per 24 hours that an elemental is retained (short of karmic contracts
and the like).
Consider that in advance perhaps next time a magician is aware of the
potentially threatening situations they are going into next time...
