Reading the Narrator's book p25, I see the point. The sentence
"When the ceremony is done, the worshippers can see the Spirit World
outside the circle"
and
"To step outside the circle is to enter the Spirit World"
clearly support you, but
"When they return to the physical world..."
and
"... abruptly returned to the physical world..."
suggest those within the circle are not on the physical world while
there. HW:RiG is noncommittal either way, not mentioning what happens
in a circle, just that you can get to the Spirit World 'through' one.
Now, as we know from Roderick's previous posts that embodied spirits (including those 'embodied' in fetishes) do NOT suffer the Alien World modifier, if your assertion is correct, once spirits are bound or Integrated, their Might should increase by 20 points!
