Now where was that Legal Spirit with it's Guard power that I was asking about
the other day?

Hypothetical Reasoning can be applied to -anything-, IF you don't want to put
forward any Hypothetical Follow-Ups, then don't.

Hypothetical's deal with a given boundary of "Reality" or "Fact", and
SR has
it's boundaries (rules), and therefore can have a Hypothetical Postulation
proposed into it's theorums.

A thought did occur to me while reading a few of these posts. The time frame
could easily be reflective of the phases of the moon, and thus reducing the
time from two weeks to one week for the durational staying power of said
spirit. For easier game mechanics, just use the same Nature Spirits, and
perhaps substitute one power for another. OR, add Alienation to ALL of them,
just in case a being is encountered where the template doesn't contain such.
