BOND

Usage: BOND <modulator>
       BOND <focus> <spell/category>
       BOND <focus> <elemental or spirit type, e.g. 'hearth', 'water'>
       BOND <focus>

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.
