    Doesn't seem like it, if you think Thor is the most powerful being in the universe, if I go into your head, Thor's the biggest thing there.

    Also,even disregarding the fact that they are supposed to be natural parts of the psyche, are the emotions from Inside Out good Goetia material, more like spirits, or too complex to be either?
    Goetia. They're not like spirits at all, have no source or requirement outside of the person or animal's head. Far too human oriented, as well. A spirit might take a human form but it would never honestly act like a human.

      I might be mistaken, but my impression is that the Goetia in your head are based mostly on different aspects of your psyche. There might be a Thor in your head, but only if that's the most appropriate form for your relationship to superhero/action media, and how powerful that Goetia would be would rather stem from how big a part that interest plays in your life.
      Thor (both Marvel and mythological versions) would rather be parts of the Temenos, and there their Rank would mostly depend on how much people think about them.

        Yeah, presumably someone who had Thor as such a massive figure in their life would have other psychological issues, but without getting into the myriad possibilities of the human mind, generally if something's big for you it's powerful in Rank.

        I think the ephemeral section in Mage points this out, with Ranks across the spectrum not really being limited the way ghosts, angels and spirits are.

        But Goetia are generally something you'll only see in mage, which should help to keep them separate from spirits and other things.
