BTW, here's a rule of thumb I use when people with bound spirits (or fetches*) want to use them to cast spells:

A spirit needs its own pair of eyes to be able to perceive the world. If you have a Dispel Magic spirit bound into a torc, the torc's wearer can command it to dispel a spell on himself, but not on anyone else, since the spirit has no way of perceiving anyone else. Allied spirits can use the rune master's senses, so even if an allied spirit is in a sword, it can cast ranged spells.

• What exactly a fetch is I'll leave for another message: is it (in a practical sense) part of the shaman, a separate spirit, or what?
