And what does that tell us about the ritual whereby one bonds a Trickster? ST p68:
"The powers that a bonded Trickster has are constrained. Natural powers remain, but they are as restricted as the trickster by the Bond. Significantly, accepting the Bond makes the trickster's powers all act exactly as if they are feats."

Anyone who bonds a Trickster will be betrayed by that Trickster at the worst possible moment. Anyone who knows the GL Secret gets destroyed by the Gift Carriers. Just what does that title "Gift Carriers" mean, anyway? "Beware of Greeks..."?

I'm not at sure how this works, but I'm more and more convinced that there's a link.
