A true ghost-talker can call out into the River and summon even ghosts long laid to rest, or penetrate the shell of self-absorption and illusion around a raging revenant."
"I have never favored spirit magic myself," she says with a frown. "All of the power is in the hands of the ghosts. The artistry lies in the adept's ability to beseech and persuade."
Neither of which Harrow has cultivated, as may be obvious.
