Actually, it doesn't. The bullets would bounce off of *hardened*
armor, but the Manifestation power doesn't provide this, just regular
armor. Thus, since the minimum target number is 2, the spirit with a
high force is generally rolling its "body" with a target number of 2.
It's pretty easy to stage down damage this way, but the rounds still have
a chance of doing *something* to the spirit.
