Enchantment Sorcery in Glorantha - Zistorite only?

Tap is of the Forbidden category, I presume? What other spells are Forbidden besides it? Some in the Necromantic Arts book? Or should I wait for the Abiding Book? ;)

A lot of Vadeli 'perversions' would no doubt be considered forbidden—but they are not in grimoires (actually, would they even be in the 'Abiding Book'? Or are they Magical Practices?).

On those lines I suspect Tap (Morals) might be forbidden too.
 
I wonder how grimoires drawn from 'The Other Source' aka Blue Book of Zzabur differ from those of the Abiding Book. I suppose those mentioned on p. 43 of G:tSA originate from Zzabur's teachings? It would be nice to see a write up of, for example, Telendarian school.

No, they manipulate the summoning spell's duration to keep the summoned entity contracted for an extended period. Binding through the Enchantment ritual is somewhat risky as the binding can fail and the entity may react badly to the attempt - or simply disappear. It also means you have to bind Magic Points that you then can't reuse until you drop the binding. Its better to summon something and then continue to extend the spell through recasting.

The only Sorcery summoning spell that we have seen so far is Summon (Demon), and that does not grant the summoner any control over the demon, you have to dominate it or bargain with it. Also it is a Concentration spell, which I assumed meant concentration for the 1d10 hours, but if the summoning also has a regular duration that can be manipulated, then dies the summoner have to be on the ship, concentrating for the entire duration?
