Okay, so I KNOW this has probably been asked before, but searching through literally thousands of pages on dumpshock for the answers I seek is not my idea of fun.

So, as a GM, I am going to start a story arc involving a rash of spirit possessions. However Street magic is somewhat vague on the particulars however, and I'd like some answers before I start sending my players in.

1)If a spirit has complete control over a body (either they have made a pact, or done the bug spirit possession thing) what does a Mage see when astrally assensing? How many successes would it take to see the spirit?

2)If the host body is killed, what happens to the spirit?

3)What powers does a spirit possessing a body have? I know that each spirit bestows a specific power (such as the Mantis ability to eat other bug spirits), but does the spirit get to keep any of it's other powers? If, say, an air spirit possesses a human, can that spirit then fly as a human? Or can a human-possessing water spirit breathe underwater?

4)If a spirit possesses a human, does that human show up as magically active? Like if you took some of that magic-detecty moss and put it near a bug spirit-possessed human, would it light up? Are they dual natured?

5)Do spirit-posessed metahumans automatically get two IPs? Because a normal spirit acting in the real world gets 2 IPs, so I dunno.
