Here's my original response:

Okay, thought I'd give my input on the write up. I thought it was
generally interesting, but a few things kinda nagged at me....

The first was that they can only appear human, which I thought was a little
silly. I've noticed that with many spirits, particularly Spirits of Man,
their appearance is based more off of perception than soul. On top of
which, it would be pretty hard for a Hate Lumini to get the trolls of an
anti-human organization to go rampaging after humans if the spirit looked
like human. He'd probably just get whacked.

Another thing that got me right away is the association of Wisdom with Math
and Science. If anything I'd associate these with the Lumini of the
Machine. I would find it more applicable to be associated with the social
skills, which you pointed out, as well the more "common sense" knowledges,
such as all the different types of "Theories". Art I would place more in
the realm of "Love" then "Wisdom".

It cuts off in the midst of War, I think, and so that's about the end of
what I can consider. =) I should also note that I think stats should have
been listed with it.
