I noticed that pretty much all the mentor spirits give a bonus to a spirit or spell type and very little else, with the occasional social or perception modifier. I'd like to change that.

Miyamoto Musashi

Widely known as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, swordsmen in history, Musashi created the Hyoho Niten Ichi-Ryu style, wielding a katana for wide, sweeping cuts and a wakizashi for short, quick cuts. He is said to have fought over sixty duels without being defeated, many of them with only a crude bokken. He was a dedicated, if brutal and uncouth individual, and it is said that he never bathed for fear of being ambushed without his swords.

Advantages: +2 to blades, +2 to intimidation.

Disadvantages: -1 to etiquette.

Giacomo Casanova

Casanova was a lover, boasting over 132 seductions. He counted himself "the happiest of mortals," and modern critics see him as many Venetian women's gateway to empowerment.

He was also given to incest and pedophilia, trying once to seduce Sophia Williams, his 10-year old daughter.

Those who follow in the footsteps of Giacomo Casanova are charmers, brilliant at seduction and gaining the trust of others. They are sincere and polite, and utterly incapable of containing themselves.

Advantages: +2 to con and etiquette.
Disadvantages: Must make a Willpower+Charisma(3) test to avoid seducing somebody that they are alone with for more than 5 minutes, whether they are man, woman, or child.

Edit: The child molestation part is now removed. I have rethought it over, and the child molestation part is only because in the time of Casanova, it was legal to have a girl of 10. In keeping with the times, he is only compelled to seduce legal persons.
