[Path Magic] What happens if you Banish a Spirit of Place?

Maybe think of it as an Unusual Background that allows you to buy spirit abilities, but with a cost of zero because it also makes you vulnerable to counter-spirit magics??

The issue is we have separate creatures in Horror affected by separate collections of these spells.

Whether this should be a net benefit or penalty is setting dependent so it should really be handled by unusual background (which should have a disadvantage form, but doesn't) rather than assigning a point value to class of being itself.

The only thing defined as a feature is being able to be hurt by those spells though.

No other aspects of spiritual magic were mentioned.
