If ghosts in the MoRverse are essentially echos/final states of someone, while they perhaps aren’t people, would they effectively implicitly encode the final brain information, thus, while not exactly the person, would essentially contain the person “in storage/paused” (ie, act as a magical equivalent of cryo)
This seems to suggest that if you are going to die, make sure you do so in a traumatic, angst ridden way. Get yourself ghosted. Then if someone creates a Friendly Magic-Gaming AI they can go ahead and synthesise you into a corporeal body. And if they refuse then you can haunt them and throw a dust spec in their eye once a year for 3^^^^3 years of the magically extended life of the universe.
Well, is it known that it traumatic angst ridden death causes ghosts in the MoRverse?
(Also brings up the possibility that actual manifested ghosts are just the really strong residues, and their may be weaker non visible remanents/echos of the final brain states of everyone else too in the MoRverse)

That sounds likely. Of course, I’d still want to make damn sure my remnant kicked up as much fuss as possible… “Recoporialise me! Recorporialise me!”

“To whoever finds this echo and message, please construct the following device and/or perform the following spells...”
Won’t that make you sound like Sealed Evil in a Can?
“Please see attached 3000 page mathematical analysis and the following simulations as to the nature and operation of these devices and spells...”
Problem solved. :)
