I'd like to compare the attitude of Sorcerors and Shamans towards spirits
While the natives *knew* the buffalo intimately, and depended on it
with that of the buffalo hunters of the North American plains.
for their life, the white hunters with their rifles knew far better
how to kill the animals.
A shaman lives part of his life in the spirit plane. He would not
dare to disturb it, for fear of the consequences. A sorceror doesn't
care: spirits are raw materials. The spirit plane is a dangerous area
where no sane person would dwell voluntarily.
I could imagine the occasional expedition of a group of sorcerors into
the spirit plane: This would be a rare and impressive undertaking.
