Instead of a spirit in a machine, how about a spirit
that can turn into a machine. Like Talon's Familiar
in the book Ragnarock.

Possibility? I think so.

Actually I've been thinking about that one too. I can't decide if having an
ally manifest as a car is too much or not. A motorcycle is okay but not
very weather proof and at most is only a two seater. I was thinking of
making a home rule that a spirit can only manifest as a vehicle with 1/2
it's force in body. So a force 4 spirit could only manifest as vehicles
with a Body of 2 or less. You would have to have about a force 8 or so to
manifest as a van so this would eliminate people trying for limousines and
semi-trucks.
On a related note I've also been toying with the idea of an ally spirit that
can manifest as a melee weapon. My preference being a sword. What would
the wrinkles of this power be? The spirit adding it's strength or skill to
the wielder's like a weapon focus? A "dancing/singing sword" like in D&D?
'Stormbringer' anyone? Of course I'm just toying with the idea. I suspect
it may lead to abuse but it may be academic in my campaign with the karmic
cost of creating an ally since we don't get to play that often.
