That's the idea I had, I just named them "Wisdom" and "War"... But
you are
right, the Lumini of Wisdom should also represent ethics (a rare concept
in
2060 :) ). Let's put it this way, then: They represent the love for
knowledge,
ethics in science and social skills and art, along with the pure
pleasure of
creating art and knowledge. Lumini of Love represent love one feels for
other
human beings. War (I have already written them up in the file, only
Machine is
left out out for now) represent combat and tactics, knowledge used for
destruction.

I've put guidelines for determining stats in the file, too. They now
have a
force to be used with powers (and non-free Lumini can have stats equal
to Force,
since they not as individual as a Free one.). And if the target of a
power
doesn't want to be a target, just resist the thing with Willpower (TN#
Force).
Howz that?
