Each weapon in a Battle Saddle must be enchanted separately, even when linked. Bullets may be enchanted just like a weapon, but for a lower cost. Enchanting a magazine of ammunition costs one-third the cost of enchanting a weapon (rounded up) due to their expendable nature. Loose ammunition, such as revolver bullets or shotgun shells, are enchanted in groups of (3+Charisma) rounds. A shaman requires the Advanced Shamanism perk in order to enchant MEW ammunition. In addition, when enchanting ammunition rather than weapons, the spirit’s functional SP is considered to be 2 higher, as spirits find it much easier to enchant multiple small items. Mines, missiles, and grenades may also be likewise enchanted except at half the cost of the normal weapon enchantment (rounded up). For weapons using burst or full auto attacks, damage from spirits are applied per bullet which hits. Effects with are resisted by Charisma require only one resistance roll per attack

5
Summoning a spirit a 45 AP action. If the spirit is resistant, the shaman and spirit make opposed Spirit Affinity vs Spirit Power rolls. A shaman cannot summon a spirit with a Spirit Power rating higher than the shaman’s Spirit Affinity. If a shaman has summoned the same type of spirit once already within a day’s time, the spirit will resist (unless the shaman is a tribal shaman whose tribe has pacts with that type of spirit.) If a spirit successfully resists, the shaman cannot summon the same type of spirit again for at least a day.

7
Binding a spirita 60 AP action and is always a contested roll between the shaman’s Barter and the spirit’s Spirit Power +2. A shaman may attempt to bind a spirit with a Spirit Power greater than the shaman’s Spirit Affinity, but she suffers a -10 penalty to her Barter for every two levels (rounded up) higher the spirit’s Spirit Power is above her Spirit Affinity rating. Bindings last a number of days equal to the shaman’s degrees of success, plus one. Bindings require a Spirit Prison. Spirit Prisons are crafted much like talismans, with requirements based on the spirit’s Spirit Power +2. Spirits bound in a Spirit Prison will not grant favors to the binder or her allies.
8
Crafting a Spirit Prison or a talisman requires both time and a sufficient Survival/Shamanism skill. A talisman for a basic enchantment or a Spirit Prison for a spirit with an effective Spirit Power of 1 - 3 requires Survival 25 and takes one hour to create, halved with a successful easy Survival skill roll. A talisman for an advanced enchantment or a Spirit Prison for a spirit with an effective Spirit Power of 4 - 6 requires Survival 50 and takes 6 hours to create, halved with a successful moderate Survival skill roll. A talisman for an expert enchantment or a Spirit Prison for a spirit with an effective Spirit Power of 7 - 9 requires Survival 75 and takes 12 hours to create, halved with a successful hard Survival skill roll. A Spirit Prison for a spirit with an effective Spirit Power of 10 - 12 requires Survival 100 and takes 18 hours to create, halved with a successful very hard Survival skill roll. A shaman must complete a talisman before enchanting it. However, a shaman can create a temporary Spirit Prison in combat as a 60 AP action, binding the spirit, but must continue the crafting process afterword for the needed time or the spirit will immediately escape.
