You bet. Which is NOT the same as saying that he learns a
spirit spell from the shaman. He might get a spirit from him, perhaps
even a spirit that can cast the spell for him. Or the shaman might
give him some kind of hsunchen gewgaw (like a crystallized mountain
goat eye that can keep you from falling off precipices even in the
dark).
But while a Kralori could probably learn spirit magic if he
hadn't gone too far down the Mysticism path, in general spirit magic
is as hard for a Kralori to master as it is for a Malkioni wizard.
Greg has said that a Malkioni would have enormous difficulty learning
a spirit spell -- his mindset is just wrong for it. I agree. Ditto
Mysticism. Using it, yes. Learning it, no.
