	* '''Rune Magic:''' [[Evrom]] and [[Yoorn]] are good choices for initiating or destroying a bond, respectively. Some traditions suggest that it is good luck to mark a young person with the rune of beginning the very first time they are bonded to a band. Any of the [[~~Rune Overview~~#Runes of Autumn\|Autumn runes]] can be evoked when creating a bond, but especially [[Hirmok]] to signify ownership or [[Queros]] when creating a connection to a band. When using runes to create a bond, it is common to mark both targets with that rune as part of the casting; when breaking a bond, the rune is symbolically washed away or rubbed out.		* '''Rune Magic:''' [[Evrom]] and [[Yoorn]] are good choices for initiating or destroying a bond, respectively.

	* '''Astronomancy:''' [[The Chain]] is suitable to any use of this spell whether forming or breaking a bond. Likewise [[The Spider and The Web#The Web\|the Web]] represents connection, and is especially appropriate when renewing a bond that has existed previously. [[The Three Sisters]] are effective when bonding people together, but some astronomancers prefer to avoid using this constellation due to the omens of sorrow and loss that surround it; these magicians suggest that [[the Chalice]], with its imagery of things coming together or separating, is much more apposite. In each case, the astronomancer often uses the constellation to represent the bond itself rather than the magical process of creating the bond.		* '''Astronomancy:''' [[The Chain]] is suitable to any use of this spell whether forming or breaking a bond.

Other [[Dramaturgy#The Personae\|personae]] might come in to play depending on the nature of the bond being created - using [[the Bishop]] to bond someone to a sect, for example, or [[the Captain]] to bond a yeoman to a weapon. [[The Coin]] is a strong [[Dramaturgy#The Instruments\|instrument]] to use when either creating or breaking a bond - some magicians incorporate the payment of a ring into the casting of the spell. Likewise, any [[the League\|League]] dramaturgist can see the value of using imagery associated with [[the Ring]] when creating a bond to a group. Evoking the images of [[the Counting House]] is also very appropriate when casting this spell - some dramatists prefer to perform it while seated at a table across which payment and the item to be bonded or unbonded are passed.		* '''Dramaturgy:''' [[The Prince]] has a strong resonance with bonding magic, representing ideas such as unlocking or claiming power, swearing oaths to a group, or demonstrating authority.

	This simple spell is one of the first that a [[Magical skills#Magician\|magician]] learns to [[spellcasting\|cast]]. Every magician is able to cast it; along with [[operate portal]] and [[detect magic]], it represents a shared suite of powers common to everyone who works magic. Being able to forge magical bonds is a key part of learning to cast spells and especially to perform [[rituals]].

Where [[detect magic]] teaches an apprentice magician to perceive magical energies, this spell teaches them the fine control needed to cast other, more complex, spells.

	The ability to create bonds is a vital tool both for joining a [[Bands#Covens\|coven]] and unlocking the abilities of [[magical items]]. Other than [[potion\|potions]] and [[herbs]], most magical items can only be used if the user is bonded to them. By creating a bond, the magician attunes an individual to the magical properties of the item. A human or [[orc]] can have only a limited number of items bonded to them at one time. Many magicians speak of these limitations in terms of ''chakra'', visualising them as magical nodes from which bonds can be created that link with any of a broad class of magical items. While the three object chakra are the most commonly understood, magical scholars also recognise several additional chakra including those that allow a person to be bound to other people as part of a magical group such as a coven, [[Bands#Sects\|sect]] or [[Bands#Banner\|banner]].

	Magicians often talk about bonds as if they are literal threads of magical energy connecting things together. While many visualise them in these terms, it is a little misleading - the bond does not literally extend as a line of magic between a person and their sword, for example. It is not possible to track an item one is bonded to. Rather, the bond could be thought of as an attunement between two things - a unique mark that both share that signifies a profound connection.
