Sigh.

I didn't want to say anything.

But.

Can a dead hunk of flesh, whether it has an aura or no, astrally project?

Now, who was it that quoted that only things that are astrally _active_--
i.e. projecting; not necessarily just "there", like a tree or warm hunk of
flesh, can attack other things in astral?

Okay. Now wityhout an attack (read: INTENT), how can something on the
astral harm an astral entity? I just really don't think the piece of dead
flesh has any malintent against the spirit. I just really don't.

Notwithstanding the aergument about smashing astral bodies; I don't see it
applies here.

At the most, I'd say the aura launcher would disp[lace the astral body, as
has already been said by someone. Disorientation, yes. Damage? Nnno.

Exasperated,
