A Hungry Ghost is immune to physical effects of most sorts - weapons and fists just pass straight through them! To harm a hungry ghost in physical combat requires a weapon blessed by Tao Alchemists using the [[Xia: Tao Elementalism|Burn the Hungry Ghost]] spell.

A Xia with a ghost-banishing spell of some sort can engage in ''Mental Conflict'' to try to return the ghost to its grave, where it will sleep and become a restful ancestor again.

For Xia without recourse to such spells, ''Social Conflict'' is the best bet, cajoling, intimidating or persuading the ghost into leaving them alone. Ghosts don't really respond to human social cues though - the best tactic is to convince the ghost of promises of offerings to its grave, or to remind it of the man it used to be. A successful ''Social Conflict'' will persuade the ghost to leave, though it may return again another night.
