Description: Soulbonding is connecting one's soul to the soul of another in order to access their power. It takes great magic to impose a soul bond between any two people or things, but some are born with the ability to bond with another. These, like mediums, are simply born with an incomplete version of soul magic that must have a second (or more) soul to complete.
Soulbonded pairs experience everything together--like lotlem. They both feel pain when one feels pain; they feel each other's emotions partly; they both feel aroused when one is aroused; they hear each other's thoughts; they share experiences totally. Furthermore, one's sins affect both's souls.
There are three ways to Bond: Master/Slave, Equals, Unstable. In Master/Slave, the Master takes the spheres of the Slave. This is a very secure bond that the Master can break at will. Equals means both share spheres at a reduced score, and either can severe the bond. Unstable means neither can sever the bond, but it can break at random, and who has what scores is random, evershifting.
Familiars: Some soul mages, complete or not, take on familiars. This is the most common form of soulbonding. This is often preferred, because it gives the animal the caster's intelligence, but the animal will be shielded from sins because of its nature.
Bonding: Master/Slave bonding is often not consensual. Equals has to be. Unstable can be either. The chart below shows what happens at different success rates for each.

Spheres: What spheres are gotten by a Bonding are like those of mediums, here.
Learning: It takes a long time to learn how to handle casting through the Bond.

Focusing: The bond slows the focusing significantly.

Cast Sensing: The soulbonded share their senses with their companion, and thus, their perception is halved.

Fatigue: Fatigue is shared between both in the bond. It does not reduce, but is shared totally by both. If focusing occurs, fatigue goes up a level. Special to exceptional, etc.

Casting: How it works!
You need to Bond first and foremost. Find a willing or unwilling partner. If you are an incomplete soul mage, utilize your natural bonding ability. If not, find a way to bond.
Unstable bond? Great! Every unstable bond is different, so determine how yours works. Do you have a sphere you want at a power level you need? Great! Focus, if wanted, then cast!
Equal bonds? Great! Do you have a sphere and power level you want? Great! Focus, if wanted, and cast!
Master/slave bond? Great! Master, do you have a sphere and power level you want? Great! Focus, if wanted, and cast! Don't want the fatigue? Roll will to force it all on your slave at double the rate! Failure means you get it at double, though!
slave/Master bond? Sorry! Slave, do you have a sphere and power level you want? Great! No focusing, but cast at -3 to -6 if you're ready! Don't want the fatigue? Too bad!
