After reading all the responses to my last post on the mage with the
spirit posse, I've got some other questions that I've had for awhile but
never got around to asking.

1) Can an elemental be asked to manifest around an NPC directly from
astral space?

2) Does it take a service to call up an elemental into astral space?

3) Does it take a service to have an elemental follow you around in astral
space while you move from one location to the next?

4) How hard is it for an elemental to find someone? I've read the rules
but it seems a bit easy. Case in point: last run was to retrieve a soil
sample from a desert island in the Pacific. PC sends an air elemental out
to do it for him. Run circumvented.

5) Is there any tech out there that would be used as anti-spirit
measures? You'd think that by now someone would have come up with
something.

In response to a couple of the other queries about whether or not wanting
this behavior to be curbed is appropriate, I'm all for players finding
ways around things. It's a bit boring however for this PC to have the
remote solution for any situation plus enough firepower to stop a truck
by using just one aspect of his powers over and over again. I'm not
interested in permanently preventing him from doing this, just interested
in finding ways to make it not be the silver bullet all the time.
