Yes, I see that, but the book does definitely say spirits from outside the shaman's tradition get added to his 'Personal Tradition'. However, Wesley's writeup gives his character access to whole traditions of spirits, rather than individuals, so maybe that's the difference (but he should still have made them secondary traditions, not relationships, according to the rules). My spirit talker has a 'Tough' spirit, a 'Heal Injury' spirit and a 'Fleetfoot' spirit, just three individuals outside her Serdrosan and Firshalla Traditions - it would be hideously expensive to go on collecting spirits individually and having to improve their traditions separately (even if you reduce the cost to 1 HP per point).

I think you need to use a HP to learn the initial tradition at 12, but whether you need to do so for every such spirit you add to your tradition I'm not sure. I'd say yes though.

Well, if you are creating a single, personal tradition, I'd say you can teach it.
