So now you have a disemcaked spirit who has every reason to be annoyed with you, and the Hold Person only lasts 1 minute ...Ummmmm I'm an animist, I believe everything has a spirit, and every spirit is a person, so I could Hold Person a piece of cake and you couldn't lift it with a fork and eat it unless I willed it...
