On the topic of Charisma and Conjuring (sorry, I lost the other thread by
accident), the Charisma vs. Drain for spirits has to do with the "Self Image"
concept. Invoking a Spirit or Elemental means influencing other beings.
They reflect their perceptions of the caster by the way the caster's "self
image" reflects upon their own presence. That Charisma is their bridge into
the world sort of.

And the idea of a conjuring pool is a good thing, at the very least for the
Hermetics. Sorry, I love Shamans, but the idea of a Conjuring Pool in the
hands of Spider or Owl just sends chills up and down my back.
