WARNING This contains some more stuff on maximum spirit POW

I have given the thought of spirits eventually having power up in the hundreds some thought. If you only get a power gain role if you have less than 95% chance of success and a maximum of 1 power gain per week, and a success change of 5% then I agree with the idea of the average agressive spirit gaining 2.1 Power per year. Even with a suggested wasting of 1 POW per year this means that ancient spirits may have in excess of 1000 POW, but the 95% chance will now take over as there are fewer spirits to attack with POW in the range 990-1010. So spirits cannot go above a certain limit statistically. I cannot work out this limit as I cannot begin to guess at the number of spirits on the SP or how frequently they interact. (more topics for discussion).

The only way then for a spirit to gain large ammounts of POW is to be worshiped. Perhaps there is some lower limit on the amount of POW that a spirit can have before it can be worshiped, i.e. is a large enough landmark on the SP for POW to be directed at it. After all if a spirit is severly lacking in POW then why should anyone worhip it as the benefits it can bestow must be limited.
