Sponsored Magic for Review

[Theonlyspiral]

So one of the players in my game is a warrior who mixes sword play and magic to try and complete his family quest. He's found that he really doesn't want the depth from evocation. We were thinking to switch it for something evocative. Despite the number of threads I've started in the past 2 months I'm not 100% on all this stuff yet so any help or advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Akai Legacy [-4]
Description: By drawing on the power of your deceased ancestors you're able to utilize a potent form of spirit magic. In return however you give your ancestors great sway over your actions.
Sponsor: The 20 generations of Akai ancestors who have wielded the family sword before you.
Agenda: See Akai Family code.
Evocation: The Ghosts of the Akai family provide spirit or metal evocations that often emulate sword techniques.
Thaumaturgy:  The Akai Legacy allows its user to cast rituals that tap into the legends of dead heroes, as well as rituals that summon spiritual warriors.
Evothaum: Any Thaumaturgy granted by the Akai Legacy can be cast with the speed and methods of Evocation.
Extra Benefits: The ghosts of your ancestor demand poise and acting with honour at all times. You use your discipline in place of your presence to determine your Social Stress track.

I find that to be reasonable. If he's a swordsman, you might want to go the way of Transcendant Swordsmanship and replace Conviction with Might and Discipline with Weapons for the purposes of spellcasting. It helps boost power while remaining inside the character's thematic bounds.

As worded currently, I'd suggest that the evocation is a bit too broad, including the full scope of two elements, but I also suspect that that degree of versatility is unintended.  I suggest that you further define the sort of effects available here.
Then again, I'm not entirely sure what a 'metal evocation' can accomplish, which might reduce some of that perceived versatility, but is a problem in its own right.

Looks more or less okay to me. I'll add it to the list.

No higher stamp of approval exists. Maybe I do have a handle on homebrewing for this game.
