And spells have no counterattack and don't reqire you to move from
cover. Now, astralcombat- thats a different kettle of fish.

The spirit wouldtakethe same damge as any other beingcaught in the same
blast/ supressive fire, just it would get 2 times force as armor.

UMM, do toxics and insects count? How's bout Loa horse's? I play a
samurai in a high magic campaign. ANYTHING that ties that spirit up

spirit down (armor? what armor?)
