Title: [SR5] Summoning while Astral Projecting
Post by: Major Doom on <08-28-16/0943:24>
I cold not find any specific answer in SR5, but I could have missed it.

1. Could an Awakened character with the Summoning Skill and capable of Astral Projection, summon a spirit while in Astral?

2. If yes, since Conjuring can be perceived, as per Perceiving Magic (SR5, pages 280-281), what would the astral projecting character's body be doing to reveal the character is summoning a spirit?  Would the body twitch?  Would incoherent words escape their mouth?  Would there be a visual indicator of mana, based on the Force of the spirit summoned?

1. Yes, you can summon a spirit while astrally projecting. Sometimes that's the best way to interact with the material world while you're traveling astrally: Summon a spirit and have it Materialize for you and perform physical tasks.

2. The conjuring happens where your astral body is, not where you left your meat. There won't be any visible effects around the body, all the magic is happening somewhere else.
