There just seems to be something wrong with having the astral affect the physical and not the other way around.

Since we know there are several physical items that affect the astral, from that funky plant that block out astral bodies to magic weapons, there must be a way to create astral ammo. Disrupting an astral presence can be achieve with a enchanted weapon, why not with ammo?

Assuming the astral body is indeed a "body", magically active items should damage it. Ruling out flat out enchanting bullets, can anyone come up with a way to make bullets astrally active?
