spiritbonded
Spiritbonded is a term used in fantasy fiction and role-playing games to describe a person who maintains a binding relationship with a non-physical spirit. The bond is usually formed through a ritual, a hereditary rite, or a negotiated pact, and it may be voluntary, accidental, or coerced. The spirit can be a guardian, patron, ancestor, or elemental being. The bond typically grants access to supernatural abilities or knowledge drawn from the spirit, such as spellcasting, energy channeling, enhanced senses, or the ability to communicate with other spirits. Physical or symbolic representations—such as a sigil, tattoo, or relic—often mark the bond and can serve as a focus or conduit for power.
Bonds vary in ownership and control. Some spiritbinds live in a balanced partnership with the spirit sharing
Spiritbonded lore often explores themes of identity, obligation, and the boundary between self and other. Variants
