For a given normal Spiritualist (no archetypes) it is clear that you can have your spirit confined in your consciousness indefinitely, but what kind of action does it take to make this so? Specifically, if you have already manifested your phantom into ectoplasmic or incorporeal form and you want to return it to your mind.
This is the only text that I could find that seems relevant:
A spiritualist can fully manifest her phantom through a ritual that takes 1 minute to perform. When the phantom is fully manifested, the spiritualist can change the form of the phantom’s manifestation (either from ectoplasmic to incorporeal or vice versa) as a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity.
So could you reverse the ritual as a 1-minute action? Or can you use a full-round action to put it back into your head? Or is this not even possible until you get Phantom Recall 1/day at level 6?
The phantom stays fully manifested until it is either returned to the spiritualist's consciousness (a standard action) or banished to the Ethereal Plane. If the phantom is banished to the Ethereal Plane, it can't return to the spiritualist's consciousness or manifest again for 24 hours.
Standard action. In the very next paragraph.
Sometimes you can't see for looking. It happens to us all.
Haha! thanks
