Does a Unsworn Shaman benefit from the Amulet of the spirits


Rules Questions


If a creature that already has the associated mystery or spirit wears the amulet, that wearer does not gain the abilities listed below; instead, the effective level of her mystery or spirit powers increases by 2.

Amulet of Spirits.

Since Unsworn Shaman has only wandering spirits, does the amulet give him +2 for his effective level if one of the wandering spirit matches the amuelt?

Thank you for your help!

No

If a creature that already has the associated mystery or spirit wears the amulet, ...

For Shaman class, "Spirit" and "Wandering Spirit" are two different class features/abilities. A 'spirit' is a ghost or remembrance or a good feeling from active cheerleaders, so english is using the same word for different things and context is the key to figuring out which one. Since it says "associated mystery or spirit" they mean the class feature (as mystery is a class feature) and not just some 'spirit'.

Unsworn Shaman An unsworn shaman never binds herself to one specific spirit, ... now here it is just some spirit but it refers to the Spirit class feature.

Good technical writing would have forced a change to the Class Feature to avoid confusion like Sworn Spirit, Anima, or Vincula.
