Maybe once she stabs/cuts into a wound on her body it takes a turn for the spirit to properly edtablish itself so she'd had to wait until the next turn to use it. A spirit can deconnect and go back into her sword on a single turn, though.

I'll likely change her race name. She can just be known as an elf for the time being.

I was a tad worried about the cloak but she can be firin' her lazor or stab his face. Or just get in a cat fight and ignore him.
