Spirit AP

In assisting Charles Corrigan with his HW program, he has pointed out something about the use of Spirits I hadn't really thought about. A spirit both lends AP as a Follower, and grants (or augments) an ability. But what if you start a contest with that ability? Do you get the AP 'twice'?

To clarify, if I use a Strong spirit of Might 17 (having no Strong ability beforehand), and start an armwrestling contest using that Strong, do I begin with 17 AP (the ability) or with 34 AP (ability, plus follower's AP)?

At first, I assumed it would be just 17 AP, but on consideration I think it must be 34... strangely, I do not ever recall actually STARTING a contest using a spirit-granted ability.
