While reading this exclent answer about spirit initiative, I realized directing my summoned spirit in combat will leave me without Complex Actions to cast spells in the usual way.

I realize this is great for game balance, but how can I use the remaining Simple Actions?

• Reckless Spellcasting is literally bad for your health
• Firing a weapon is possible, but mostly not very effective, most Magicians can't afford the necessary skill points

I have read through the Simple Actions section from page 164 in the Core book, but most of them seem like a bad idea.
Did I miss something?
