I like your house rule, but I would add the following:

1. One HP must be spent to cement any fetish except non-permanent (i.e., consumed during normal use) one-use fetishes
2. Each additional HP spent--at this time, not later--reduces X by 10
3. (not sure about this one) One additional HP must be spent to cement "unlimited use follower"

Addition 1 follows the cementing requirement, but exempts temporary fetishes. Addition 2 closely follows the actual HP required to win such contests so far in my games. I would consider dropping the X costs by 10 (0, 0, 10, 30) if using these HP costs.
Addition 3 follows the additional HP cost for integrating spirits (I know that this will be different in the new rules, but I don't know how)

I would also (admittedly nitpicky) amend this line:

spirit might = (ability used to bind spirit) - X

Thanks,
Andy
