BOND Usage: BOND BOND BOND BOND Bond has two purposes: to set the DocWagon modulators to your unique biological ID and to bond your spirit to magical foci. Only awakened individuals can bond foci and adepts can only bond weapon foci. There is a karma cost associated with bonding foci that is dependent on the type of foci and force. Be warned; if someone else gets their hands on your foci they can rebond to it and sever your link with it, rendering it useless to you. Alternatively, they can use it to perform ritual magic against you (NERP). If you stop bonding a focus halfway through you can restart it again later by bonding the focus without specifying the category. It will start the bonding process again but won't cost you any further karma. When binding a sustaining focus, you bind the specific SPELL to the focus, which is then used to sustain that spell forevermore. Example: < 10P 10M > bond focus combat sense < 10P 10M > bond focus earth < 10P 10M > bond focus combat Be warned that the targeting on which focus or which sustaining foci can get a bit fiddly. It is recommended understanding the PREFIX system, using LOOK, and hiding foci you do not wish to bond to at the moment in a container. See Also: MAGES, SHAMANS, FOCI, UNBOND, ACTIVATE, SUSTAIN
