Upon binding his spirit, you will gain the ability to forceably attune a vodun doll to the soul of an unfortunate subject, improving its detail potentially far quicker than would normally be possible. This ability will be more effective against those who lack mental fortitude.

With this ability you may designate an owner for a specific totem. Only the crafter of the totem may use this ability. The totem remains owned by the crafter until the designated owner (or a member of the designated owner organisation) CLAIMs the totem. If the totem is claimed, then the designated owner becomes the true owner. If the totem is rejected, then the crafter remains the owner. At that point the crafter may attempt another designation as desired. Houses, Cities, Orders, Oakstone, and individuals may own totems - clans may not.
