>1) He can't do this until he becomes a shaman (the approach I have
>at the moment)
Practitioners can only bind friendly or neutral spirits within their
tradition into a charm
or fetish (if the spirit is hostile or it is foreign then it can be
bound) - HQ p137 1st para
under _Practice Spirits and Charms_. Shamans on the other hand can
do - HQ p140
last statement about fetches.

Most spirits are from the spirit world and hence not common
magic. Spirits of the Landscape
on the other hand can have charms made from them as per Heroquest
p148. This is not
binding the spirit into a charm but taking part of a spirit with you.
Secondly if practice spirits cannot be increased then it would be odd
that strange
spirits that he encounters could be.
>3) He can do this and uses Worship Kolat ability to bind the

>practice/tradition charm with the spirit's ability intact (but can

Kolat does not confer a worship Kolat ability. What his followers do
have is Follower of
the Seven Winds. Secondly a spirit can't be made part of the Kolat
tradition simply
because a Kolati met it. The spirits of the Kolati tradition are the
part and parcel of
Kolat's mythology.
>4) He can do this and uses Worship Kolat ability to befriend the

>bound into a fetish and he gains a relationship at 13.
He can befriend any spirit that he meets. But unless he is a shaman,
he does not
have the ability to persuade it into a fetish because he lacks the
spiritual insight.
>Any ideas?
Give him a special ability known as wrestle spirits or have him join a special
subcult. Any strange spirit that he meets and defeats must provide
one service
to him (ie the same effect as releasing a practice spirit from a
festish) before
being allowed to leave.
