how deal with etherial enemies?

[Merry Jolkar]

My Daoine Sidhe cannot seem to hit the enemy Dispossessed Spirits, because they are etherial, and can thus almost never be hit by non-magical weapons. Since I can't give magical weapons to my troops, how should I fight them?

Thanks,
Merry

Banishment, spells and summons of your own.

Flaming arrows is a good spell.

Fire 9 blessing would give your sidhe flaming weapons.

Thank you. I will encourage more young men to pursue a life in the church.

What's the first summoned units with access to magical weapons? The only ones I can think of right now Ether Warriors.

Shades are ethereal themselves... not sure if that means they can hit other ethereals or not. Same question applies for all the seasonal spirits, Phantasmal Warriors, Ghost Wolves, etc.

Wights and Banes have bane blades, which I assume are magic enough.

Do fires hurt ethereals? Or do flaming arrows only work well against ethereals because they are also magical?

I seem to remember Holy Pyre is quite effective, and is available either directly cast, or ala Flambeaux.

Can ethereals be trampled as easily as solid troops?

In fact you can even get magically armed Mercenaries, the Eternal Knights ! However they appear randomly as de all mercs...
