 Spiritual or Nomadic magic is considered a type of "bound" magical energy, usually within another medium, such as a focal object, a tattoo, or even within a song or melody. This magic energy is considered analogous to a "standing wave." This magic can take on discrete "harmonics" of energy, which manifest into the six ranks of nomadic incants((The energy levels of these bound states are restricted to even numbers as a result of the quantized nature of its boundary conditions. As a result, nomadic ranks are more readily equivalent to ranks 2,4,6,... of Elemental or Divine spell groups.)).  Spiritual or Nomadic magic is considered a type of "bound" magical energy, usually within another medium, such as a focal object, a tattoo, or even within a song or melody.

-A nomad pulls magic from the Kurago (or similar spiritual font), accessible via their Guardian Spirit, which acts as a channeling conduit, similar to a "waveguide," in order to store the magic within an incant on the Cefa'zisto. The amount of energy a nomad can safely transfer from the Kurago through their Guardian Spirit at once is called **Spirit Charge**. This is determined by their ability to withstand the magical energy flowing through them (Health) as well as their ability to connect to and perceive their Guardian Spirit (Perception). +A nomad pulls magic from the Kurago (or similar spiritual font), accessible via their Guardian Spirit, which acts as a channeling conduit, similar to a "waveguide," in order to store the magic within an incant on the Cefa'zisto. Because this magic is in a bound state, most nomadic incants are limited in their range and scope, usually only affecting the holder and their immediate surroundings. However, since this magic can be bound within some sort of portable object, that allows others to hold and activate the bound magic.

 Once an incant is activated, the magic held within the bound "standing wave" is released, which depletes the magic held within the object. For mechanical and record-keeping convenience, we count **Spirit Charge** as being spent when this happens, although in reality, the magical energy was already bound within the object when the incant was prepared. Once an incant is activated, the magic held within the bound "standing wave" is released, which depletes the magic held within the object.
