[quote=@Mike73] What I was going for was more of a comparison of a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, so the original person's spirit didn't leave the body, they literally just evolved and broke out of her old body and left it behind as a shell. With what I had in mind, there isn't a new spirit in the shell either. She isn't alive in any way, if anything she could probably be best described as an empty puppet reanimated through magic. The general idea is that she shouldn't be up and walking around, but the whole uprising of magic was able to effect even a discarded shell and give it a consciousness.

It was a suggested modification and it could have significant plot ramifications depending on what sort of spirit is. Who or what that spirit is would play a huge role in the unfolding plot.
