Spirits Bound
Business Type: Service
Services Offered: Spirits Bound offers bespoke exorcism and ghost managements services in Kenash and the surrounding plantations. The details of payment will vary widely depending on the nature of the project at hand, including whether outside help will have to be hired.
Base Income: Spiritist 8 gm/day
A world mage makes between 7 - 14 gm/day. A spiritist has low barriers to entry as far as cost is concerned, but their services are often urgent or perceived as such. Currently, Ajiv's shielding is not significant enough to increase his base income, but when it becomes more effective in dealing with ghosts and the possessed as well as allowing him to make 'enchanted' items, it may become significant.
Skill Bonus: Competent Spiritism 4 gm/day
Sale's Bonus: -2 gm/day
Ghost hauntings occur with a somewhat increased frequency in Kenash and environs, and they are particularly disliked by the Dynasty members; perhaps they serve as reminders of the wealthy plantation owners' mortality. There is a market for a particularly fertile Spiritist business here. Unfortunately, Ajiv is not yet capable of exploiting that. He needs to gain a reputation as a successful solution. Dynasties are perhaps not willing to admit to having a ghost problem to a member of another powerful Dynasty. Freeborns are skittish to employ what is possibly a spoilt Dynasty brat who will do nothing and demand payment and praise. To top all this off, Ajiv's Common is only Basic. Unless his family employ him, he is at a disadvantage until he has remedied this.
