An important note regarding spirits in Fort Aspenwood,
they can body block.
So a KuKu spirit spammer can cover the gate entrances with them and a person has to cut thru one of them to enter, which can take a few seconds-the few seconds that the fucking KuKu caster spiker behind them has targeted you.
So watch out for them, don't disregard them because their binding rituals have long casting times and spirits are low level.
They can make a gate when the actual gate has long since failed.
