If you are in that case (sorceror AND familiar AND spirits), yes, it is faster. But the sorceror will have to:
- have been an apprenctice long enough.
- learn 3 spells (create Intelligence spirit binding matrix, summon Intelligence spirit, control Intelligence spirit) and bring them to a sufficient level (with summon and enchant) to avoid risking too much.
- spend 2 POW per Intelligence spirit (I would say 3 to add a condition and avoid having them controlled) .
- put all the spells he wants to store with enchanted manipulation to matrix (1 extra spell: create spell matrix) AND spend 3 to 10 POW per matrix, depending on the security he wants and the number of manipulations he wants to store.
- learn the create familiar stats spells.
- sacrifice some of his own stats (not necessarily POW) to create the familiar.
- learn 3 spells (create power spirit binding matrix, summon power spirit, control power spirit) and bring them to a sufficient level (with summon and enchant) to avoid risking too much.
- spend 1 POW per power spirit (I would say 2 to add a condition and avoid having them controlled).

That means learning 14 spells (among other things, 14 weeks of study, if the spells are available), spending minimum 20 to 30 POW, and the other stats for his familiar.

This can not be soon in the campaign. And when the sorceror has reached this kind of level, everybody is able to have this kind of trick.


Runequestement votre,
