My players are starting to use spirits, and I want to make sure that I get this part correct.
Let's say that the spirit has already been summoned and is in astral. At the beginning of combat. Would it go something like this? I always made the assumption that when the spirit attacked it would just materialize for free (or something) and attack on Initiative 26.
Initiative Order + Action:
Spirit: 36. Action: Waiting
Magician: 25. Action: Command Spirit (simple action) to attack Mook with Elemental Attack.
Mook: 20. Action: Something...
Spirit: 26. Action: Materialization (complex action)
Magician: 25. Action: Starts wishing his spirit would show up faster.
Mook: 10. Action: Something...
Spirit: 15. Action: Elemental Attack (complex) against Mook.
Rest of combat.
