According to Drew Curtis, at 10:14 on 17 Oct 00, the word on the street
was...

If it has Engulf power (as all elementals do) you could get it to
materialize and use Engulf, but not as one action -- it takes an action to
materialize (not to mention the spirit loses an initiative pass), and then
another to use the actual power.

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

No. Provided the elemental has already been conjured (with the hermetic
circle and all) and placed on stand-by, all it takes is an action to call
it to you, at which time it will appear next to you in astral space as
always.

No. They must remain withina certain distance of you, and I would assume
they do so automatically. They're essentially on a leash...
