Yeah, exactly. I'm not sure I'm supposed to interpret it as "within talking distance"/"anywhere ever" but it doesn't sound like that's wrong.

But because spirits are so abstract and vaguely conceived, you can't really go statting them up as characters; they do very little conventional character stuff apart from talking to people.

Hmm. That makes it seem like there can be a completely different approach to Medium of "I can gain information in a manner completely unrelated to me and my capabilities" or a very exotic Contact.
