Looks good.  Looks real good. 
But how about this for the blue chip ability.  
On a successful Spirit roll of TN 7, you may take a point of appeasement
from another shaman's guardian spirit pool and add it to your own.  Each
success adds one point, until either your pool is full or the other
shaman's pool is empty.
