What if such an angry spirit object could be cognizant of people around it when they discard other objects, not having anything directly connected to the angry spirit itself.  Let's say that the angry spirit resides in the closet of a bedchamber of an inn or teahouse. Also, say a PC has finally gotten the funds to purchase an enchanted blade, having the past three levels used a non-masterwork sword. He has discarded that blade and now possesses his new +1 sword. If the karakasa-obake in the near vicinity detects such an occurence, it could be possible for it to extend it's vengeance onto that person. Think of The Grudge - the movie. The onryo 'vengeful spirit' has already caused the death of her husband, and the teacher whom she held a secret desire for, so as far as 'normal vengeance' goes the perpetrators of her condition are all dead. However, the angry spirit is still angry... anyone who moves into that house becomes the target of her dark attentions, not necessarily reserved to those that committed the acts that caused her state of ghostdom. 'Buffy' had nothing to with the ghost in life, but she and her boyfriend/husband (?) became the target throughout and at the end of the movie. Japanese vengeance isn't necessarily reasonable. So maybe a karakasa-obake might chase you, despite not being the one that discarded it.</blockquote>
