Spirit Command

Static Shamans Can control all manner of spirits. All rolls to control spirits are made using Manipulation + Spirit Command. The difficulty of this roll is the spirit’ s Willpower Attribute. One success on a control roll allows the shaman to command the spirit to perform a single task lasting no longer
than one scene. One success is sufficient to force an unwilling spirit to enter a completed one-shot Fetish. Each additional successes allows the shaman to either give the spirit one additional command, or to force it to obey a single command for another scene. If the shaman rolls three or more successes, he can give the spirit a single command that it must obey for a full day.

Commanding a spirit is considered a hostile act. A failure on a Spirit Command roll results in the spirit either attacking or departing, while a botch on this roll drives the spirit into a mindless berserk frenzy. If the Shaman has Previously controlled a spirit, the difficulty of the roll to control the same spirit again is reduced by - 1.

While performing the two powers together requires the expenditure of two points of Willpower, shamans can perform a combined Summon and command ritual that allows the shaman to summon a spirit and then immediately roll to control it. Each power is rolled for separately. Nothing
happens if the Summon roll fails, and if the Summon roll succeeds and the Command roll fails, the spirit is summoned but free to do as it wishes.

Static Shamans can also use the Command ability to force unwilling Spirits into Fetishes. To do this, the shaman requires four successes on the Manipulation + Spirit Command roll.  The shaman must then spend three points of temporary Willpower and one point of Tass for every 10 points of the spirit's Power to foce the spirit into the Fetish.  Since totem spirits are fragments of much larger beings, this Path cannot be used to command them.
