• Free Ghost

This spell must be cast upon the ghost of a deceased mortal. The user must overcome the MPs of the ghost with his own. If he succeeds, the ghost is unbound from its haunting and returns to the Land of the Dead.

• Incarnate Ancestor

This spell causes a named ancestor to dominantly possess the body of a willing descendant, who can be the spell caster. The summoned spirit can use all spells, knowledge, and skills it had while living. The spirit need not leave the host body until it pleases to do so or is exorcised. Friendly spirits leave when the job at hand is through. Neutral spirits must be bribed to do so by Gift Power or Gift Spell. Malign ancestors do not leave voluntarily.

• Summon Ancestor

This spell summons an ancestral spirit from the Land of the Dead. If the spirit is friendly, it can engage in spirit combat or cast spells if the summoner desires. Not all a character’s ancestors may be righteous or kindly. Evil spirits may attack the caster, or at least refuse to aid him. If the caster names a specific ancestor when the spell is cast, he gets that particular ancestor. Otherwise, a randomly- determined spirit is called, the characteristics of which are determined through use of the Random Ancestor Table.
