1.Remember that a practioner adds a fetish spirits ability rating to either his advantage points or his own ability rating when it is released. That's a much better bonus than a normal augment.

2.I believe that Roderick once said that the listed spirits are just the common ones, and that rarer ones could be more powerful.

3.Chaotics probably don't have to follow the normal rule for excluding the other magic types when they concentrate. They're chaotic, after all:)
