Seems logical, but I have to think of the various local practices and spirits associated with different geographical locations.
One key is not going to open every lock, but every lock has a key that will open it. Every path goes somewhere, but do they all go to the same place ? Is the knowledge and known spirits of say, an Arapaho medicine person the same as say a British Witch ? Would that Arapaho medicine person be at a disadvantage, say upon a English moor, or would that British Witch be at a disadvantage in the Colorado Rockies ?
