how bout this for a replay(ghost) ;)

anyway. what would happen if persay us as gm's were to summon said
"spirits". Casting those spells would definately throw it in the face of
the Grimoire. What about a spellcasting roll for control over the
spirit or have the spirit roll every few rounds to decide if it:

a. stays and obeys
b. stays and attacks caster.
c. leaves
d. does whatever it wants regardless of who or what is around it.


hmmmm what would the spirit roll against. its own force or int? hmmm
