Its assumed that the player either owns the apropriate fetish - if they are
the only magically active kid in their family then when their grandad croaks
he'll probably pass his fetish on to them so that he can give them a hand
later in life. Of course, you can attempt it with only the kind of things
they liked for fewer services.

I'm guessing for as long as there are services to be performed.

I think he'd be pissed off; have you ever heard the Hitchikers Guide To The
Galaxy radio series? You know where Zaphod calls the spirit of his great
great grandfather? I would plagerise that to hell :)>
