In some of the Shadowrun-Novels there are some nice examples of
socalled free ghosts. If a magician summons a free ghost, the ghost
is not happy about his "slavery". Sometimes he is playing tricks on
his master.
This is getting really interesting if the ghost gets free. A lot of
ghosts try to kill their former master. It belongs upon how the
magician behaves. If he is friendly and polite, he can be a real
friend. If he uses the ghost as a slave, he will be angry.
In other words,, you are the gamemaster. Try to feel like the ghost.
What kind of ghost are you, what are your intentions, how does the
shaman behave with you, how long is he using you, etc, etc.
Another idea is to decide, who were you in life. Why not let a shaman
summon a ghost from an enemy tribe ? Wouldn't that be a fun for the
GM ?
