If your magic system includes a penalty or bonus for lacking/having a connection to the subject (usually for out-of-sight or unknown location casting), knowledge a True Name might serve that function, without any need for the subject having particular traits.
As long as were talking about True Names my article in Pyramid #3/114 adds some extra bit.
I have a setting that heavily uses spirits and spirit magic and its a favored topic.
