The mage severs a ghost’s relationship to its present anchor, designating a new one to take its place. The replacement anchor is often an Enchanted Item.

* Practice: [[Spell Practice::Weaving]]
* [[Action]]: [[Action::Instant]] and contested; target rolls Resistance reflexively (the target may choose not to contest the spell)
* [[Duration]]: [[Duration::Prolonged]] (this spell used the advanced prolongation factors )
* '''Aspect:''' [[Spell Aspect::Covert]]
* Cost:  1 [[Cost::Mana]]

Penalties may apply, depending on the nature of the original and replacement anchors.

Original Anchor / Penalty
*Object = None
*Place = -2
*Person = -3

Replacement Anchor
*Object = -1
*Place = -2
*Person = -4

An additional –2 dice penalty applies when the nature of the original anchor differs from the replacement, for example, when the mage attempts to take a ghost anchored to a place and instead attach the ghost to an object.

If the ghost is bound to multiple anchors, a willworker desiring its full attention may wish to perform the spell multiple times, once per anchor.

Users of this spell often cast it in conjunction with “Lighten Anchor” (p. 60), granting the ghost greater
flexibility in fulfilling the item owner’s requests.
