I was listening to some folk tales last night and thought of an interesting surprise
for the shaman who thinks he knows everything about magic. Next time he/she
conjures a reasonably powerful spirit, what does he get but a cohort of small
spirits. Example:

Imelda summons a force 6 hearth spirit inside of the shop of a shoe repairman.
Up pop 7 tiny elves on the workbench, ready to help out. (Why 7 and not 6?
Seven is a magic number. Can't make it too easy for them.)

If you assense the spirits, you see that they are definetly hearth spirits, but you
can't really tell the force, and that all their auras are IDENTICAL (and in fact,
linked, although that may not be so readily aparent). They never do anything
singly, only as a group, and then they act as a force 6 spirit. They don't get
friends in melee bonus, game wise they act just like 1 spirit.

Just a way to play with those player heads...
