Golem and Spirit Destroying Effects

[Draven]

In the event a character is stored in a golem and struck by an Oblit/Shatter Spirit:

1) Does the golem remain untouched? The rituals target spirit, and nothing indicates the Body is damaged (akin to armor or equipment possessed by the target). While it's true that a normal body dissipates from Resurrection, a Golem body thematically, and even mechanically, is not the base body. If the Golem can remain after a Spirit Recall, I cannot see why it would be destroyed from a more violent "expunging" of the spirit within.

2) If the Golem remains and the spirit is under the effect of the Spirit Store ritual, would that mean the spirit is immediately shunted back into the golem body upon successfully resurrecting, as the Spirit Store scroll text gives specific conditions for ending the effect?

 

[Polare]

Obliterate and Shatter Spirit target the character's spirit, but have a distinct side effect upon their body ("forced to dissipate"). A Golem that they are Spirit Stored into is not their body. If a character Spirit Stored into a Golem is affected by a Shatter Spirit or Obliterate, they have the choice of either repping the Golem (after suitably announcing to surrounding people that it no longer has a spirit in it and divesting Spirit Linked/Locked items, of course) or going to resurrect and leaving a tag for the Golem in place.

Note that if you are Spirit Stored, Body Stored, and Regenerated, you could immediately Regenerate within the Golem and continue on your way. At the risk of eating another Shatter Spirit immediately, of course.
