Yes.

They can also be permanent rituals _or_ a bound spirit that will use its' own powers (whatever those might be) as directed.

This covers a potentially very wide range of magical devices, particularly if the spirit is commanded to use his powers at set intervals or in response to certain events by the original caster rather than the current holder.

That would make for "automatic" magical effects rather than having to command the genie of the lamp. With the fetish having an appropriate form whoever had the fetish might not even realize it was magic rather than ultra-tech, mad science or whatever.
