Well, since there are spells in the True Lineages that allow a ghost to 
become solid (MuMe with Te requisite), I don't see any problem with MuCo (Me 
req) spells that allow a person to affect ghosts physically (but most likely 
such a person would be unable to affect physical objects while the spell 
lasts?); base level would probably be 30 (turn a human into an insubstantial 
object). Trouble here of course would be getting the penetration total high 
enough, any ghost would be able to block attacks with its magic resistance.
