Drahma Protector

( • • Mind,  • • • • Spirit)                   Tradition Book: Akashic Brotherhood, Revised Ed.   69
The Jnani use this rote to convert spirits to the Drahma.  These beings guard Bodhimandalas and assist the Brotherhood because of their sincere belief in the truth of Akashic teachings.  At heart, that is the ideal situation in which Drahma Protectors are enlisted.  In fact, many spirits are bound to the Akashic way whether or not they voice an obvious need for salvation through the Sangha.

Drahma Protector convinces a spirit to see the Akashayana as the true path to inner peace.  Such a spirit protect Akashic Brothers wherever they may be found.  Unwilling protectors may rebel, but that is merely a sign of its own struggle with the truth.  A Jnani chants wisdom from the Akashic sutras after purifying herself, so that the spirit may know the will of the All.

System:  This rote has a threshold equal to the spirit's Gnosis + Willpower.  The rote turns the affected being into a loyal servant of the Akashayana for as long as successes are spent on duration.  The spirit will do anything in its power to assist the Brotherhood, as long as that assistance doesn't violate Akashic ideals or the spirit's essential nature.  Such spirits guard a number of Jnari-controlled Bodhimandalas.

MET: Adept Mind, Adept Spirit.  After ritually purifying yourself for at least 10 minutes you chant for a full turn.  This summons a spirit, who is then converted to Akashic beliefs.  The spirit takes the initiative to help and protect you for one minute/conflict, as long as you are true to the Akashic philosophies it now believes.  Grades of Success:  Each grade of success extends the duration by one grade.
