    Why is the soul in the mind?

    I recognize the weird state that would exist where the mind is fully copied into the ghost, having two entities with the same mind.

    I still think that would be interesting fiction though.

      Why is the soul in the mind?

      Or the body. I think the main thing is that a single entity only has a single animus, another word for a soul.

      So a necromancer may lend a body a “false” animus to animate it, while the “real” animus (or soul, if you will) is in a spirit form.
