Spirit generated skills - PASSIVE.

Some animal spirits grant skills passively to a shaman. This does not mean the shaman does know how to use those skills. He is being directed by his spirit or  whispered to by their spirit. Once any of a spirit's Active powers is used any passive skill granted by the spirit is lost until the shaman re-contacts the spirit after the adventure.

Spirit generated skills - ACTIVE.

Some spirits will grant skills when activated. These skills will last a maximum of 1enc/15mins before being lost.

No Evil spirits may be contacted if a shaman has a good spirit and vice versa.
