Forking off from here... (DISCLAIMER: I've not spotted this being discussed before but sorry if it has and I missed it. Also I've not read Street Magic yet, which may clarify, but I don't know.)

Spirits of Man. Really the spirits of our dearly departed, or just astral entities that pretend to be or think they are?

Assuming that at least some people in the Sixth World believe the former then this must surely be an area of intense research by hermetic mages.

"Hmm. If I die, I could become a spirit and live forever. How can I ensure that happens?"
