As far as I know, Power Talent doesn't apply to rolls that your Allies or Contacts make, even if those happen to be spirits, and I'm not sure Power Talent should add to resistance rolls beyond what Resistant (Spirit Powers)* gives.
In this case it should add to resistance rolls vs. a Channeled spirit as described for Shamanic Talent in Thaumatology.
Also Vision bonuses are pretty useless for Medium as it specifics they must be nearby. No definition but I use with 10y myself, not much of a penalty, especially since they have to want you to notice them so would be in plain sight.
