Well, this certainly supports the standpoint that spirits should be hard to
defeat by mundanes. After all, spirits are magical constructs, thus the
best attack methods would involve magic (just like when defending against a
spell, spell defense is a definite advantage). Spirits are not from this
realm. They should be considered as "foreign" and should be respected and
perhaps feared because of this, IMO. IMO, without a Magical Theory skill,
you don't know anything about them and shouldn't know how best to defeat
them, either.

Bug Spirits are just plain rude, when it comes to combat. They are even
worse than Elementals. True Forms are especially harsh. Use them wisely.
