   * 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.
   * Arcane Magic that does physical damage do not generally effect Spirits, unless specifically noted in the spell description.
-  * Divine Magic spells that do points of damage, however, do inflict damage on non-corporeal spirits.
+  * Divine Magic spells that do points of damage, however, do inflict damage on non-corporeal spirits.  Holy Water also affects Demons, Ghosts and Spirits, as long as their are in the open, but cease to do so once they've possessed a body.
   * When disembodied spirits attack, they remove 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.
+  * If a possessing spirit is driven out of a person, that person returns to 1 CHA, but is Frightened until healed to 3 points of Charisma or higher.  People driven Stark-Raving Mad or Feeble-minded by Spiritual attack are useless and under DM control unit they have been healed to 3+ Wisdom or Intelligence.
   * Spiritual attacks are not ranged attacks, the spirit must move into contact with the target.
   * If a spiritual attack is made against a creature that does not have the Ability Score rated such as a monster or NPC, rate the creature as having a score equal to 7 plus its modifier (for damage purposes only.)
