...that's a little inconsistent, as you haven't mentioned spirits that can take physical form until now. What other types of "Greater Beings" are there? Demons? Lovecraftian horrors? My character's the one whose whole deal is that she communicates with these things, and I feel like I have very little understanding. Perhaps you could give us a section in the info post specifically detailing the various types of Magical Beings, from ascended ancestors to the recently dead to trickster gods to Zeus and Azathoth...:/ It might help.EDIT: My problem is that I have my own interpretations of these things, how I think Ouramancy should work and the types of Beings that are out there, etc, and they are obviously quite different from yours. Compounding that, even with the discussions we've had, this is a very complex branch of magic, and I need to know how you picture the Outer Planes (or whatever), exactly how an Ouramancer speaks to these spirits, and what the Magestrava can do with/to them (again, I have my own ideas, but you obviously have it all figured out already). I'm in the dark here, and my character background's going to suffer if I have to rewrite it because I got the magic wrong...

I see your point. Alright, I guess I should get started on that. Anyway, on the Fay, I know that they were classified as Spirits, but in truth, this is just for formalities sake. The reason I was a bit wary on explaining about the Fay is because they technically belong in their own category. I know your view point on Spirits and Ouramancy, and from what I can see, it's actually similar to mine.

The Fay have powers like Spirits, but they have physical form an can make contact with anyone. For organizations sake, they were just classified as 'something in between' but still technically a spirit, as they come from a realm that's different from ours. Every other kind of Spirit is as you think - only an Ouramancer can communicate and interact with them.
