SR has a rule in which one can Banish an enemy mage's spirit to zero services, then use Summoning to become its master. So can any other mage in LOS. One can then bind the spirit.
Well, it isn't actually limited to an enemy mage's spirits. It could be a teamwork move, or a deal.
So do mages intentionally swap spirits? Can Shaman A (who knows Invoking) and Vooduin B make a deal in which each deliberately brings a spirit to 1 service and lets the other Banish, Summon, and Bind? Vouduin B ends up with a bound materializing Great Form Beast spirit, and Shaman A ends up with a bound possessing Task spirit (for the next time he needs boosted physical stats and (Force) ranks in Gymnastics). Of course, those spirits can't do Aid Sorcery, since each tradition matches a class of spell with a class of spirit, and the shaman doesn't have a class of spell that matches with Task spirits, nor does the vooduin have a class of spell matched with Beast spirits.
Since a Spirit of Man can have Innate Spell as optional power, this effectively lets mages trade access to each other's spells.
I'm imagining some Matrix forum which is kinda like EBay for spirits.
Especially useful for those max-CHA elven mages who can keep a posse of bound spirits, each specialized for various purposes. And hey, I'm currently playing one.
