One hint: don't go to places like Verdun and summon one...

Not sure if it's viable. War is very bad for nature (I mentioned Verdun --
only in the last 20 years or so have trees been able to grow again in that
part of France...) so I don't think there'd be a _nature_ spirit of war.
Still, if you want one, it would be a Spirit of Man, with the attributes
that go with those. IMHO its powers would be Accident, Compulsion,
Concealment, Confusion (extra strong), Fear, Guard, and Materialization.
