Key Words Spiritual
Description In the course of this rite, the caster prepares a suitable space, makes a token offering (e.g. lighting incense, burning a herb, offering food etc.) and calls the attention of an active free spirit within 1 mile of the rite. Any one spirit in the area may respond to the rite; and will usually do so within 1 hour.


Once the spirit responds, the offering is destroyed. For the next 10 minutes, the caster and the spirit can see each other and converse freely, even if the caster is normally unable to see and hear spirits or the spirit is unable – or unwilling – to materialise or otherwise become perceptible.

The spirit’s attitude to the caster may vary depending on the caster’s reputation or performance, or the spirit’s circumstances and history.

Skills None (i.e. this skill must be researched or acquired in play)
