Ordo Verbus Glacialis Amicus Focus

From LSWiki

   Some members of the White Order pursue a path of spiritual and emotional connection to a familiar in the classic hermetic tradition, establishing and nuturing an astral bond with an animal.  In addition to the normal animals bondable by hermetic magicians, members of Ordo Verbus Glacialis may also bond animals of the arctic persuasion, a capability unique to them.  This bonding mechanism is known as praxis algus amicus, which can be loosely translated into the common tongue as 'the process of companionship through frost'.
