Though I also like to add my shikigami when it manifested to my friends (they could see him and describe him perfectly) he told them he doesn’t consider himself a spirit but an entity, he removed some energy blockages from my friends, as well as followed them when they projected to the etheric which I don’t mind he has free will and I told him I plan to set up a thing between him and myself when I get more, but also the same case happened with the familiar I got for my friend it manifested as humanoid elemental.
