A spirit may be fine with a symbiotic arrangement - the mage feeds it plenty of energy, and the spirit uses some for its own needs/desires while the rest is available for the mage to tap into when needed. Of course, if the mage treats it as just being a (perhaps-leaky) mana battery, it may get fed up with the arrangement in short order, but so long as it's treated more like a partner, I'd imagine things would work out. I
think there's a way to build a Familiar with a Mana Reserve that is freely available to its master, but I'm not certain where that's located.
