Being able to drop a spirit companion anywhere within 20 squares is huge. In addition, the spirit needs to suffer 10+1/2 level damage or it takes no effect from a hit. If the companion is destroyed the shaman only suffers a small amount of damage. The spirit is able to originate opportunity attacks and regular attacks. It should never be subjected to opp attacks because you can move it anywhere with two minors (dispatch and summon). With the spirit companion, the shaman can easily harass enemy spell casters and leaders from a safe distance. I don't know how powerful the spirit will be in higher levels, but in lower levels the companion is very powerful, IMHO. I think the spirit companion is quite powerful.

I didn't catch the Shaman on time (and now I'm too lazy to go fetch it) so your review was really informative. Good analysis, thank you!
