Oh.

Then I guess a PC with 16 POW spirits giving him 356 MPs would
be a bit much, huh?

The player got them in 14 years (realtime) of play and most of
them were from the AH adventures. I gotta admit it was fun
seeing just how much I could throw at him while he was running
solo.

Actually this leads me to ask a question. There have been
published examples of a patch of tattooed skin with a spell
matrix on it being usable by others. My question is: will a
Binding Enchantment that is a tatoo/scar pattern keep bound
a spirit when the person having the pattern in their skin
dies or is the spirit automatically released?

I've always assumed decay will eventually destroy the enchantment
but can the spirit be "recovered" by intentionally damaging the
pattern immediately after death while casting a Dominate/Control
spell?

Thoughts please?

David
