Sorry, I meddled. I meant they only could summon spirits from that great spirit (only a guess). It seems they can only be possessed by their spirit ally until they learn the tradition secret (this was the same as integration in HW).

The Waha Tradition secret is Channel Founder (in my Multisim book), accessible in return for two humble masteries in tradition. May i assume the Founder is the great spirit of the clan (and different from that of another clan), and Waha himself can only be summoned in special occasions? Also, the Founder controls more spirits than the spirit ally, would it thus open the whole Tradition to the channeling person?
