So ig there are non violent uses, but its only things that the spirit was familiar with. If the spirit had used a magical chainsaw in its life, then theoretically, the user of the spirit would be able to conjure one. But those types of technology does not exist in the world yet. Once you tether...
well, the magic system i envision was really strict, all spirits have the same level of power as another, though the only problem is that if they were strong and/or skilled, they would be much harder to deal with as they are able to drive someone insane easier. It's really up to the creativity...

So, I'm new here, and am working on the world building on a story, need a few people to look at my magic system and give any ideas that might help me enhance the idea within the story, also need help on whether or not I should have only a human race, or also other magical races within the world...
