..old days of HW... surely?

Another old HW rule that I don't think survived the transition was that a shaman who brought a spirit down to complete defeat could then treat the defeated spirit as part of their own 'personal' tradition (from memory, the exact wording may differ). I suspect the intent is to allow the "scary old shaman" to have spirits that you weren't expecting, which appear to come from outside of his normal sphere of influence. It may be an ability that is perculiar to a particular or small subset of practices?
