        Does anyone like the magic book version of the spirit plane?

        It is exceptionally dull, and seems to be based on the A D&D ethereal more than anything else.

        I much prefer the 'Spirit plane is a reflection of the mundane' idea.

        My current conception of the situation is that the spirit plane and the hero plane are the same place, just different ways of getting there (and different effects are possible depending on whether you visit a place in body or just in spirit). And the regions near to the mundane plane look very much like it. As you move further from the mundane plane thing grow more abstract and more 'mythic'.

        Cheers
