yes, K, your comment was a bit antagonistic ... I don't know if you &
MC23 have a rivalry or anything like that going but I recommend that you
keep it off list :)

Agreed :)

The material you quoted seemed to have been offered forth in order to
contradict this ... (ie I think I and a few others interpreted your
underscoring "as long as the body still lives" as contradicting that ...
sorry :)

The original question was how can human hosts be used if sentient hosts
aren't allowed ... Cadavers were the first thing that came to my mind
and, IIRC, someone else suggested brain dead targets and I believe it was
mongoose who suggested putting an Ally spirit in the meat body of a
projecting mage (is this how this thread got started?) ...

D.Ghost
(aka Pixel, Tantrum, and RuPixel)
(Who hopes this tension is just cause the list hasn't reset yet ...)
