Default Exorcism question

Are there newer rules for Exorcism outside of the Basic Set? GURPS Spirits used to have a more robust system, with modifiers for knowing the true name of a spirit, etc.

Also, I noticed in my Basic Set printing it says:

"When fighting a spirit in a living host, add higher of the ST or Will of the possession victim to your Exorcism skill as he tries to “push the spirit out.”

That doesn't seem quite right, as that's adding a +10 or so to Exorcism skill on average, which is going to auto-succeed against a typical demon with an average to strong Will. This almost sounds like an accidental holdover from Spirits, where you used to roll against the spirit's ST+Will to dispel it.

This may be intended to allow a default from Theology to have a chance of working. There's some discussion about the skill here.

I a a little bit in GURPS Powers: Totem and Nature Spirits but it was more clarification really. I would not recommend the book just for its bit on Exorcism.
If I write another spirit related book I might add more, depends on the book.
