 ==== Disembodied Spirits, General Notes ====
   * Spirits, such as ghosts, demons, etc. are not corporeal and thus cannot attack or be attacked by physical means. No weapons, even magical ones can do any damage to them.  Holy Blessed weapons (see the 5th level Divine spell Holy Weapon) are the only exception.
-  * Spells that do physical damage do not effect Spirits.  Examples:
+  * Arcane Magic that does physical damage do not generally effect Spirits.
   * Divine Magic spells that do points of damage, however, do inflict damage on non-corporeal spirits.
   * When they attack, they attack their target's INT, WIS or CHA.  When a character's INT is reduced to 0, he becomes feeble minded.  When a character's WIS is reduced to 0, he becomes stark-raving mad.  When a character's CHA is reduced to 0, he has been possessed by the Spirit, who now controls his body.
