I will need to spend some time digesting this information. It is very helpful.

But, I suppose the crux of my issue is this:
>When spirits "solidify" aka become physical objects or "sleep"
>Does the spirit's instinct to stay the same materia the stronger or the spirit has feelings towards the magician to obey the change
>A materia for an entity might be more valuable than for you.
>Thoughts also have different materia levels and purity
This touches on the question of what is the fundamental difference between matter and spirit. Which I suppose is the key concept here that I'm trying to understand. You say spirits solidify into physical objects by sleeping. This makes sense. Does this mean that the fundamental core difference between matter and spirit is the "speed" of the substance? To solidify is to slow down the vibrations of the component matter - this is the basic difference between solids, liquids, and gasses. The speed, or energy, of the molecules. Sleep is a bit difficult because your body definitely slows down in terms of actions, but I’m not sure the mind slows down. Dreams can’t often be described as slow. If the analogy holds this may mean something.
But do spirits "become" material or do they only "inhabit" material? Or is the material that the spirit inhabits itself another spirit? Is the case that physical matter has a great many spirits packed in a great density and this density of spirits is what causes the high level of existential inertia that physicality has compared to the spirit? That it is simply caused by the necessity of having to move a great deal more things at once.

Or rather, in terms of functionality, I suppose it could be said like this: If a ghost wants to interact with the physical, would it simply be a matter of ‘slowing itself down’ to that speed which causes it to become physical? Or would it need to ‘find a body’ to inhabit instead?
