Hmm... I don't see why though... best place to capture any enemy is where he's in alien territory, and weakened. Possibly this is tied up with the old debate about mights & fetishes - that a spirit in a fetish did not suffer the Alien World modifier. Thus, capturing a spirit suffering from the Alien World -20, then stuffing it in a fetish, would INCREASE it's might by 20... But, with a Complete Success, can the Shaman demand one service of the spirit and release it, thus either sending it out on a single task, or learning enough about it to add it to his Tradition?
