Numen/Spirit (continued)

Inspired by discussion on Talk: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil: Characters, I've used Spirit/Soul term instead of Numen term to give it a try.
How do they look like?

I like it. It makes it a lot more meaningful for us English readers. One thing I would recommend over the discussion in Talk: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil: Characters is that we should call all the times 霊 is used with Reimu "spirit", instead of interchanging soul and spirit around. As Reimu is a shrine maiden, she probably uses 霊 to refer to the divine presences of her religion, which comes across better as "spirit". When we get to Yuyuko, we can translate 霊 to "ghost", as that is still an acceptable translation. --Leviathean 21:47, 24 Jun 2005 (PDT)


I think I can settle on that idea. Now... let's see how many pages have to be changed. --Aona
