===Geestwerkgelegenheid (Spirit Employment)===

Spirit Employment is the method that the Gezag use to make spirits serve them.  Unlike the People, the Gezag have never gotten the trick of simply contacting and or befriending spirits, nor of embodying them.  But they are masters of creating anchored spirits that can do useful labour beyond their qualities.
