Is it going to be too weird for the spirits not to have flying?

Non-flying spirits popped up in Kamigawa. Earth-bound spirits are probably fine. On top of that, it may be the only creature type we can give flying too, if we wanted. Spirits can't carry anything, so it wouldn't matter if they could reach Aer...

Originally this card said "Target player sacrifices a creature." That was much too good for a 3cc spell at common, since the effect of getting that many 1/1 minions could end up being better than gaining control of the original creature. Otherwise, this card does us one heck of a favor in the file, taking on two roles, both a sacrifice trigger and a pile of sacrifice targets. The fact that this can be a fine combat trick is good too... though the cc is debatable.

Oh, also got rid of the word 'spirit' because I don't think we're doing that. Really a flavor issue, but I'm just making all the cards line up.

I think the cost here is just fine; this is very similar to Mercy Killing (though with completely opposite flavour). It may end up needing to be uncommon, but let's see how it turns out.
