According to most varieties of shamanism, everything has a
spirit. Of course, some spirits aren't as powerful or developed as
others. Just because your sports car of choice is extremely
well-designed, it doesn't mean it has a spirit powerful enough to be
summoned like normal nature spirits.
You can summon the spirit of a place to act in your behalf, but
I wouldn't allow a player to summon spirits of vehicles and weapons.
But for shamans, every type of magical activity can be explained
as interaction with spirits. So, when you create a magical item (that
is, a focus), you're awakening it's spirit and binding your essence to
it. When you cast a spell, you may be asking the spirits of the things
around you to do you a favor, and the results of the spell (effects and
Drain) tell you how much they cooperated and what they took from you as
payment.
This has no actual rules effect, but does much to enhance
roleplaying of your shaman :).
