Synopsis

The chapter begins with a discussion on how spirits might influence individuals who can hear their 'voices,' and if this could lead to 'seeing' or even contacting them personally. Later, a powerful, hate-filled spirit attacks the academy. The chapter also delves into the nature of animism and the possibility of spirits with unnatural malice. Finally, there is a dialogue concerning geniuses and how their lack of 'frames' may leave them vulnerable to unknown influences, with a professor being questioned about potential side effects.
