Editing TROS in the Hammer:Magic Spirits (section)

==The ‘gods’==
Certain spirits of sufficient power and conceptual breadth essentially have a god like status, both among the spirits themselves and among certain human
cultures.  Conceptual breadth does not mean more qualities, but rather the breadth of the individual qualities themselves; Plant is broader than Tree is
broader than Oak.  For example, Snow In The Branches is a very powerful spirit with the qualities of “Cold” and “Tree” and “Create”.  All other Tree spirits, Cold spirits, and Creation spirits treat Snow In The Branches with reverence and fear, and consider it a god.    It is a prevalent spirit, who is able to make contact with the real world of its own accord, especially in the cold, forested wilderness far north of where the People live, and is worshipped by the savage inhabitants of those trackless forests.

===Esoteric spirits===
Attempts have been made to contact spirits with very broad qualities (i.e. “know”, “everything”); these attempts, when they succeed, tend to contact spirits that are so strange that communication with them is impossible.  Moreover, the broader the qualities, the less the spirit wishes to remain in contact with the real world; it seems as if the specificity of the real world (i.e. this Oak tree, as opposed to the plantness of all plants) is somehow painful, or at least uncomfortable, to them.
