Default [RPM] The tricky division between Mind, Spirit and Undead?

Greetings, all!

I'm trying to wrap my head around the default division of spheres of influence between the paths of Mind, Spirit and Undead when it comes to dealing with different minds. I'm not 100% about the logical way of splitting mind types between those paths.

Classically, a ghostly soul is Undead. And a creature those body and sole are one, single thing, is a Spirit. Okay, that kinda makes sense . . . but Revivification involves Body and Spirit effects, not Undead effects. It does seem odd that affecting the thoughts of a soul takes Mind while it inhabits a body, but Undead while it lingers without one.

Also, an interesting case is entry into dreamworld, OOBE, possession/mindswap, astral projection etc., which are apparently handled with pure Mind.

Anybody got a clearer picture of all this?
Thanks in advance!
