The topic was brought up on subject of how ghosts see. One person believed a ghost could be hidden from other ghosts, while another suggested ghosts had the same sight as spirits, and would not be fooled by such mundane means. A ruling on this would be appreciated.
Regardless on the result of the above, I suggest the idea of Spirit Obfuscation, and Spirit Sight if it ends up not being innate to Ghosts.
The idea is simple: Spirit Sight means the Ghost sees the world through the same lens a spirit would. They see other spirits and ghosts, and such beings are not hidden from their view while possessing mundane objects or other similar abilities... unless they have Spirit Obfuscation. We could have a tier system for both where Obfuscation >= Sight allows a Spirit or Ghost to avoid detection by a being with Sight. Whether we want Obfuscation to have an equal final total tier level to the highest available to Sight (so that it is possible to be invisible to all Spirit Sight users) or not is up to you, the mods and admins, though my personal vote (however irrelevant it might be) is for a no (just for the record).
For example, a ghost with Spirit Obfuscation I cannot be seen by a ghost with Spirit Sight I if they desire not to be, but they cannot hide from one with Spirit Sight II or higher.
I have no suggestions on how high the numbers should be able to go, as it risks being a major gold sink for a very niche reason, and you'd have to determine which kinds of spirits have which levels of Sight, which could all get very unnecessarily technical while eliminating the need for many of the other ghost abilities if they choose to simply hide from the sight of all conventional spirits. These details should be considered along with the above suggestion before implementation.
