Show me any spirit, and the "Amazing Randi" will give you $10,000. :)

But look at it this way- if you make people uncomfortable all the time,
you EXPECT to make people uncomfortable. That affects your self esteam,
or at least self image. A spirit is not looking for your good side-
anytime charisma comes up, the spirit will play to your weaknesses,
picking at your troubled self image and exploiting social prejudice.
Its not how the spirit views you- its how it can get you to view
yourself.
Similar logic aplies to most othe ruses of charisma.
