A question came up in today's session: what metahuman languages, if any, do spirits speak? I don't know of any clarifying passage in the book, so my off-the-cuff ruling is that a spirit has the same language skills as its summoner (in this case, Norwegian N and English 4.) Does RAW address this issue at all?
To my knowledge no and it's always bugged me, though it has yet to be an issue in my game. I don't really like the idea of spirits being limited by language - traditions encompass many languages so how would it be that a summoned spirit always knew the right language(s) and never the wrong ones? I'm tempted to house-rule it that spirits communicate psychically. Can anybody suggest why this might be a terrible idea (as I suspect it might).
