.. except when they both inhabit the physical world, as in the case of the lesser entities (or at least, a subset). Iam wondering if the relationship to this magical plane carries through as a property of the spirit. Is a theistic river spirit a different type of spirit to a animist river spirit? Do penalties apply? I guess part of what I am looking for is to understand why the identities are differentiated; for example, should I portray them diferently, and if so what characteristics would I use to distinguish them?             Received on Fri 01 Jun 2001 - 16:38:48 EEST
