Further fun with Spirit Powers, Formula Pact times two makes the free spirit safer Options

[pbangarth]

Here's the text from Formula Pact (Street Magic page 108):

The spirit infuses a copy of its spirit formula into the character, who then carries it with him for the rest of time. The character gains the power Immunity to Age (p. 288, SR4), and the spirit cannot be affected by the use of any other copy of its formula for as long as the character lives. The character's aura is visibly tainted by the spirit's signature. The character himself may be used (or use himself) as the spirit's formula for any purposes.

The phrases "a copy" and "any other copy" suggest the copy infused in the character doesn't have to be the only copy. There doesn't appear to be any restriction on how many times "a copy" can be infused into a character. Now, if two copies are infused into two separate characters, no other copies can be used against the free spirit, and in fact neither can either of the infused copies be used, because the other one precludes it from being used against the spirit. So by infusing at least two characters with a copy of its spirit formula, the spirit is safe from the use of any copy of its formula against it, even the infused ones, as long as both of those immortal characters stay alive.

Isn't that cool?
