Spirit summoning: Where the Wild Roses Grow by Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue

[classicdrogn]

An odd thought for this one-- Just how old of a ghost can Eliza Day summon? We've found som pretty old skeletons with the skull and jaw intact enough to have a rose put between them, and older still if reconstructed fragments count too. Of course, communication becomes a major issue well before that point (unless you count that included as a required secondary effect of a power to let the dead tell their tale) but I doubt you'd find a single archaeologist that would not at the least put you up for a few nights at their camp and throw in meals and a contemporary outfit in exchange for getting a few minutes a day of the actual appearance and interaction with their subject, even if the spoken language is completely incomprehensible, even if they can never publish the details directly because no one who wasn't present will believe them.
