The Passions are like the Totems.  When was the last time you killed a Totem, or even had one show up during a run?

Passion = Totem= god. Now if they manifest as a great spirit of some form, the above list should give an idea what they influence

My group came pretty close to blowing up quite a few Totem Poles, does that count?

(Why there's a Polish Totem, I can never understand...)

I've always considered the Totems as what the passions can manifest as at these levels of mana. And up until 4th tragically homogenized all the magic I thought of shamans as proto-seekers.

It was a bad day yesterday, I'm an asshole of a Canadian, and to hell with apologizing for evil ideas if all I ever get to do is write or GM!

Never because i'm at a loss as to what a totem is... o.O'
Having access to Ares Technology isn't so bad, being in a room that's connected to the 'trix with holographic display throughout the whole room isn't bad either. Food, drinks whenever you want it. Over all not bad, but being unable to leave and with a Female Dragon? No Thanks! ~The Captive Man

Proto-Seeker? I must admit I've not heard that one

Adj. 1. proto - indicating the first or earliest or original.
         early - at or near the beginning of a period of time or course of events or before the usual or expected time; "early morning"; "an early warning"; "early diagnosis"; "an early death"; "took early retirement"; "an early spring"; "early varieties of peas and tomatoes mature before most standard varieties"

Yes, Proto. Shamans are what will become the Seekers.
