This spell is used to sustain a spell with the life force of a single person. The spell must be a single target spell that affects only one person, the target of the Life Bond, and has a Circle less than the Circle of the Life Bond. Once both spells are cast the target is subject to the effects of the other spell for as long as he lives unless the bond is broken. If the sustained spell normally places burdens on the caster, then they are placed on the target instead.

To achieve the bond the subject must consent, and make a simple Spirit roll, followed by a simple Phys roll. A failure on either roll causes both spells to fail and the subject loses 5 Phys forever. The Life Bond counts as a maintained spell for the target and the caster.

As with the 4th Circle Life Bond, but this spell binds a magic to the entire population of a place. This spell only affects area and protective Magics, such as Sun's Blessing or Sun's Shield. The spell is a ritual requiring 5 weeks to cast and a number of sacrificed Crdlu equal to the Difficulty + Circle + Burdens of the target spell. Once the Spell is cast the Mass Life Bond follows and forever maintains that spell so long as the people it was bonded to, or their descendants, remain in the protected place. Should the place be destroyed or the people leave the Life Bond ends. The Life Bond accepts a certain turnover of population. Up to 1/4 of the population may leave per year, as long as overall population remains at the minimum level required for the maintained spell. Mass Life Bonds are used in the founding of new towns and villages, providing protection and ensuring that the population remains where the Order desires.

The spell requires a population of at least 10 people per Energy Level + Circle + Power Level of the target spell. For example Sun’s Blessing requires at least 60 people to maintain.
