Why is the soul in the mind?
I recognize the weird state that would exist where the mind is fully copied into the ghost, having two entities with the same mind.
I still think that would be interesting fiction though.

Or the body. I think the main thing is that a single entity only has a single animus, another word for a soul.
So a necromancer may lend a body a "false" animus to animate it, while the "real" animus (or soul, if you will) is in a spirit form.
Shit, in NWoD you could have a ghost, an undead, and a trapped soul all of the same person at one time. The ghost and the undead could have the same mind while the soul could be sewed onto some other blighter and have a completely different mind.
