HreshtIronBorne Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I noticed a few differences between the wording of the Spirit Binding Enchantment and the powers of the Spirit trapping crystals, does anyone know if the crystals allow the manipulation of the POW of a trapped spirit? Binding a Spirit: If one does not wish to put a bound spirit into an animal as a familiar, one must find or buy a spirit trapping crystal. Once a spirit has been bound within such a crystal, the POW of the spirit is available for the use of the binder. The spirit may not throw spells itself or take other independent action unless the binder is attempting to control more spirits than their CHA will allow. If the bound spirit’s POW is reduced to 0, the spirit is destroyed. Note that gods and demigods may not be bound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by manipulation? Using its MPs, yes. Using its POW to make enchantments, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like RQ2 or RQC, in which the distinction between POW and Magic Points was not as clearly defined as in later editions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HreshtIronBorne Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 It is from the preview on rune metals and crystals for RQG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it was not completely converted from RQ2. I think you should read "MP" instead of "POW" in this text, except for the sentence that says a Spirit with no POW left is destroyed.
