The essence of Shamanistic practice is intimately intertwined with the innate connect of a person with his or her natural surroundings. A higher level of knowledge regarding the energy and healing power contained in all of creation is absolutely necessary to the sharing of Shamanistic talents and propensities. Shamanistic talent can be used by its keepers to bestow great fortune, healing power, and certain harsh psychological bindings. Spell-binders who are actively engaged in countering the effects of wayward Shamanism should be familiar with a large portion of the common Shamanistic practices in the world. People engage Shamans in help with many problems in life, but the results can be unwanted. Spell-binders are equally adept at protecting and freeing people from darker Shaman activities.
