[@Rune_Alchemist] Ha, it's good to see you working hard but don't overwork yourself. 

If you burn out before the start of the RP you are no good for me ¬¬ [s]joking joking[/s]

To answer your question, a Pythones mage would be able to control any spirit at any given time effectively AS LONG as it falls under their jurisdiction. 

Example. A Pythones: Water Spirit mage is able to use spirits of water scattered about anywhere, independent of whether they have used them before or not.

HOWEVER, if a Pythones mage is possessed by a powerful spirit, they could summon that spirit to fight AND have another kind of Pythones magic in full effect. 

If this does not answer your question, just tell me and I'll go even more into detail with it.

Overwork? Me? Pfft, just give me a some caffeine and I'll be good to go for another five hours~
and probably spend the next day sleeping until one in the afternoon, but shh.


So, anyways - A Pythones mage is only able to control one type of spirit, let's say Fire in this case, and would be able to call upon fire spirits in the area wherever they are only. 

They however wouldn't be able to say, be able to use wateror other spirits in the area unless they were possessed by a powerful water/other type of spirit?

Might as well go ahead and ask what exactly possession is. Is it sort of like housing a powerful spirit inside of the mage, and being able to use it at will at any time? Would the spirit have any sort of effect on the mage if so? How would someone go about doing that, anyways?

Sorry for asking all these questions. I just like to be prepared if they ever become relevant~
