However, he might find that the best combinations involve lesser vestiges, but that isn't so much a mechanic as it is just a good idea.

From level 1 through 7, you can bind 1 Vestige for 24 hours (or less if you have Expel Vestige). At level 8, you can bind 2 together. Later you get 3 (I think it's around level 14 or so) and at level 20 you can bind 4 at once.
