Hauntium/SoulSteel additions
#1

Proposal: Make soulsteel and hauntium items be able to interact with ghosts rather than the usual, other way around, ghosts be able to only interact with it.

I want soulsteel handcuffs that can cuff ghosts.

I want to hit a ghost with a soulsteel book to 'banish' it.

On that topic, can the chaplain/church get incense and a ceremonial bell?

I want to be able to do more than shoot the ghosts, as the ghost buster job. I want to be able to arrest the ghosts and do other stuff like force them to drink from soulsteel cups or something. Maybe that last one could cause issues but I just want more interactions between soulsteel/hauntium.

Speaking of Hauntium, I'm aware that it has good electrical insulative properties but I feel it misses the mark being unique from soulsteel. Could Hauntium have a higher soul catch rate or something more in line with ghosts rather than an electrical resistance? Maybe hauntium causes you to attract ghosts how bubsium affects gravity or something. I'd like more ideas and more possibilities with ghost interactions.

As a small example, I hauntium plated hancuffs and once the ghosts took over the handcuffs, i declared them "cuffed" and grabbed/dragged them to jail. Yes they cuffed me when I fell over but it was funny.

Ghosts can't do anything to begin with, what will cuffing them do, make them unable to spin chairs?

Imagine hauntium gloves that can grab ghosts and handcuffs to make them stay I guess?

Ghosts have knowledge of antags and no clear IC/OOC border and their communication is inherently meta. Interaction with them should be very limited for this reason.
