House spirit

House spirits are a type of major spirit, created and fit for a specific purpose such as guarding temples or members of royal bloodlines.

Creation
The creation of a house spirit always has an associated price. The price is typically quite high: the most famous house spirit, Jester, cost his creator a portion of their lifespan, which caused their death very shortly afterwards. Additionally, the price of creating a given house spirit is not known until its creator has already committed to the process; the exact reason why is not known, but any attempts to circumvent this issue cause the spirit's creation to fail or even backfire.

Abilities and powers
House spirits are a type of major spirit, and as such they tend to be very powerful and at least as intelligent as a mortal. They might have supernatural strength, speed, or magical ability.

House spirits cannot travel far from where they are created. Most house spirits treat the area where they can wander as their territory, and act in its defence.
