>>>>>[ A spirit, that I once knew, mentioned that he enjoyed inhabiting
various mundane's bodies and forcing them to do activites outside their
normal daily rituals.
His comments have made me very curious. What would happen if his
target was a fully active magician (of whatever tradition)? Would a
mage be able to use themselves as a sort of containment cell for the
rouge spirit? If so, what would be the side effects? ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Perhaps, Peter. Perhaps, I should explain more. A co-worker in
the philosophy department mentioned that spirits inhabiting metahumans
bodies is little more than a corporation implanting a device into the
body of a wage slave and telling them that if they act contrary to the
corporation's wishes, they will go to kingdom come, so to speak.
I started to seriously question whether the spirit's actions are just a
benign pranks or a precursor to slavery. Especially after hearing what
my co-worker thought and rumors of what the former aquaintence (the
previously mentioned spirit) is currently doing. If it is a prelude to
slavery, then I really need to understand what possible solutions to
the situation are. ]<<<<<
