It is worse than the Sword of Humakht case because:
a) You would resist the Sword with current MP, while you resist the spirits
at 0;
b) The Shaman still has three, {four, if he does not bother to possess}
spirits undamaged to hit the next guy with, while the Sword has used his
spells.
c) The Sword has paid for his four Sever Spirit spells with 12 Permanent Pow
points, and offhand {I may be wrong about this} the shaman has probably paid
less for his spirits.
My argument in bringing up attack by multiple spirits using all out spirit
attack was to argue for the elmination of shaman advantage a). This would
be done by going back to the old RQ rules allowing characters to defend
against spirits at current MP. For those who value consistency, I point out
that this makes defense against spirits consistent with defense against
spells.
I also doubt the wisdom of allowing multiple attacks by spirits, because it
opens up a can of worms related to who strikes first; if all strike
simultaneously who can possess, etc. I don't see the plus to opening this
can of worms.
