Exorcising Spirits
Carl:
It's fair enough to use a healing spirit to exorcise a disease spirit, but
will it work on a passion spirit? What about overt possession (eg. by a ghost)?
It would make healing spirits a lot more useful than I thought they were...
Tom:
I'd considered DI as an option for exorcising spirits but it seemed a little
heavy handed. I like the idea of using cult spirits tho'. In return for doing
the exorcism they might "borrow" the body for while to indulge in the worldly
affairs of the cult.
Greg:
I'd like to hear more about the "spiritual weapons" idea. Would they be like
ritual spells? Or like skills (a la Sorcery skills)? I considered introducing
a spell called Exorcise (Ritual, Ceremony) which simply allowed the caster
to engage in spirit combat (without actually discorporating per se). It would
be available as a Divine or Sorcery spell (not Spirit Magic). Being a
ritual spell it could not be used in a combat situation. (Nasty cults might
use it to possess prisoners though>:->). Does this seem fair, or does it make
life too easy?
Another idea: Is there a qualitative difference between a discorporate shaman
and any run-of-the-mill magic spirit? Call me a God Learner sympathiser, but
I kinda like the idea of nasty Lunar sorcerors Summoning & Dominating shamans.
Heh, and of course Binding them for use at a later date...>:->
