Effect: This spell is used by the wu jen to obtain the services of lesser && greater spirits.
Before the spell is cast, the wu jen must
contact the desired spirit (through a commune spell).
<technically:Commune
with Lesser Spirit || Commune
with Greater Spirit spell>
Once the contact has been made, the wu
jen can cast the bargain spell.
If the spirit makes a successful save
vs. spell, the spell fails and the spirit is under no compulsion to heed
the wu jen.
However, if the saving throw is failed,
the wu jen can demand one service of the spirit, if that service is within
the powers of the spirit.
The spirit is compelled to perform this
service if the wu jen can close the deal by providing some item or service
demanded by the spirit.
The spell does limit the spirit’s demands
to a payment of no more than half the value of the service demanded by
the wu jen.
The player and DM, playing each role,
must negotiate what the exact terms of the bargain are.
Once the bargain has been made, the spirit
is bound to performing it.
The wu jen can elect to make his payment
immediately or wait until the spirit has fulfilled his portion of the bargain.
Should the wu jen fail to make good on
his part of the bargain, the spirit appeals to the Celestial Bureaucracy
for redress.
These powerful beings send a punishment
to the wu jen in the form of a -2 penalty on all hit rolls and + 2 on all
saving throws until the wu jen fulfills his part of the bargain.
Note that if the spirit makes the saving
throw, it may still remain to deal with the wu jen,
although the terms are never as advantageous
as they would have been under the power of the bargain spell.
MC: A bowl of incense.
