No.  I don’t think it’s a mod.



I think he needs to speak to Santa and use a particular conversation option (which I assume only appears if he’s previously read the slab) in order to bind him.  All reading the slab does is give the adventurer Santa’s true name and unlock the options to bind or banish.



Could also be a problem of not having read the right slab, and/or not having the right Santa…

yeah that's what I thought but I didn't see anything different, and I checked through the submenus, I couldn't find anything, I wonder if it got removed or disabled (or bugged) in  version 0.47.05-

even double checked it was the right slab in legends mode this time, so I guess that's my plans gone

Oh.  Interesting…

I was just reading the wiki, and I think I may have found the answer: you need to ask it to join you as a companion.
