Default path/book fetish duration

In the spirit magic (path/book) system, I can make a magic item with the Fetish ritual: Summon a spirit, Bind it, then trap it in the object. The penalty is pretty steep, at -16 for a wimpy spirit with ST and HT 8, harder otherwise, especially considering that the max bonus from extra time, sacrifice, and symbolic connections is +15.

If the fetish is broken, the spirit is released, but what's the duration otherwise? Potentially permanent, or must you also soak a penalty based on how long you want it to last (-9 for a year)? In other words, is the intent to make fetish creation nigh impossible for a single caster?

Thanks,

GEF
