>who got magic first. In it's soul, the land of North America has been

The land is alive. Ask anyone who practices shamanism, chi kung, reiki or
studies the kundalani path. I've never traveled outside the US (eccept for
Canada, but let's be honest- the Canadians should just ask to be allowed
in. I think we can find room for some more stars. <g>), but I've observed
that even the most unnatural of terrains is powerful (although the lands of
steel, glass and concrete aren't too healthy).
Any-way, the mention of the various conflicts on American soil has
reminded me of an idea. A new Spirit of Man, the Spirit of War. In it's
normal form, it represents the ideals of the warrior- honor, sacrifice,
protection, loyalty. In the toxic form, it the empodiment of the worst
evil's mankind has ever commited: treason, genocide, terrorism, and
oppression. They can be called fom any battle ground or graves of the
fallen, and appear in a uniform and armed. An example of how a normal
Spirit of War would manifest would be as Minuteman or WWII GI, while a tox
form would appear as an SS Officer or a Cen/SouAm death squad member.
Any ideas, both to powers (I like the concept, but have yet to do anyting
with it) and the viability of the concept itself?
