This spell enables a mage to bind a spirit guardian to a person, object or place. The entity watches over its charge to the best of its ability, protecting the subject with the powers available to it. While weak spirits have few powers to offer, they are easy to bind. While strong spirits are difficult to fetter with this spell, they usually have many capabilities to bring to bear.
The target number is one success per Rank of the spirit. Note that undertaking this spell with an indefinite Duration (using Spirit ●●●●●) almost certainly earns the everlasting enmity of an unwilling spirit that’s bound to duty.
Mysterium Rote: Watch Over My House
Through force of personality and a measure of cleverness, a member of the Mysterium can bind a spirit to the defense of a person, place or thing. Free Council mages make use of similar magic, though their methods are often considered more understanding and perhaps kinder.
