Out of path castings, 
out of path, spell cloak, reform imagoAurora waits holding, seeing what comes next. Through the dark the power continues to hum still redirect still intensified but no new bolts coming crashing down.
Instead a wave of telekinetic force rushes through the dark.
1B success
Connecting more by chance then anything else, leaving marks across the Shaman, but nothing she can't sleep off. "Go ... Away." The ghost pants out it does sound genuinely out of breathe but ghosts don't breathe so what is happening there.

But she thinks it can see reason. And well, she did piss it off.
“Lets talk.”
Again, not attacking it. Could it see reason? Was it capable of that? It had to be running low on reserves. If it was asking her to leave, it could be desperate.
Maybe.
Or bluffing.
She holds.

Out of path castings, out of path, spell cloak, reform imagoAurora can attempt a presence or manipulation + persuasion or intimidate check to help see the ghost depending on how she wants to go about it.
The ghost can reason to a degree, she had seen it but the depth of that reason is unknown, and how impactful the trigger was that set off this violent response well that's any ones guess, The Sharman feels the vibrations ripple past and hears a sound of splintering wound that indicates another telekinetic attack had been launched into the dark and missed her but connected with something else ... that could explain the damage she had seen in the basement before entering the hidden room.
"LEAVE." The voice rasps in inhuman ways produced by vocal cords that by right should not be able to produce any sound at all.

Could she do it again?
Time to find out.
Flinching as the vibrations rippled past her and wood splintered, knowing it was meant for her. This was getting out of hand.
Again, she takes no action, “Stop, you’ll hurt the books.” There was no malice in her tone, but concern. Any member of the Mysterium worth anything wouldn’t want to hurt their books.

Out of path castings, out of path, spell cloak, reform imago
The weight of darkness in an unfamiliar space presses in around Aurora as she speaks words of reason, good words , strong words those that any mystagogue worth their salt would heed. The scent of dust and freshly splintered wood pervades the air, the sound of a few last object falling with dull thunks from their damaged shelves could single further assault or simply be the wreckage settling.
"Then go." Hisses through the oppressive dark, not shouted but still venomous. A brief chance, a moment of respite in the assault.

But see, Aurora wasn’t the type to back down. It wasn’t who she was.
“No. We need to talk.” Unlike the ghosts voice, hers held no venom, but a willingness to talk, to sort this out.

Out of path castings, out of path, spell cloak, reform imagoAurora calm reasoned approach had done enough to waylay the attacks but only briefly, the demented incomplete being created from extreme trauma, an obsessively unhealthy unwillingness to pass on, or other yet fouler means is volatile, unpredictable and self centred.
A wave of smashing force catches her but once again the supernal resilient body of the shaman takes the hit in stride not even enough to bruise or welt. The ghost as she seems to have rightly assessed is running on fumes or has lost the ability to direct the electricity that still hums in the wires of the walls and ceiling.
Breathing harder still. "NO. WE. DON'T." How much of the reaction was rage and how much of it was attempts to push away someone that had nearly forced to confront something it had no wish to see?
While far from ideal she had achieved what she came to do, assess the situation, determine if any of the great rights had been broken and learn about the occupant. Mages were at their most powerful when properly prepared and she knew a lot more now then when she first arrived.

Thankful, once again, for her shield, this thing was proving quite difficult.
She could leave, and come back with someone else with her. Someone more equipped with handle a ghost. A ghost being difficult. But that means she had failed. But as a Shaman, ghosts were technically not her thing. Standing here in the dark and going back and forth wasn’t getting her anywhere. But bringing in someone else had risks. Especially if they were not of the Mysterium.
One more try.
“Please friend, talk to me.” She tries, once again, calm, once again, taking no action against it.

Out of path castings, out of path, spell cloak, reform imago
Combat is halted for the moment.
Which not every conflict can be talked down and the very nature of ghosts makes it far from a certainty maybe something she had said prior, or the lack of hostility in her approach waylays further attacks. Darkness still holds sway, the air still heavy with the sound of over burned power cables but no rush of force, no slamming bolt.
The quiet hiss of the ghost. "We have nothing further to discuss." It is a good thing she had ripped the spirit apart in the darkness Aurora would have a hard time telling where it was otherwise, a unsettling thought. For that it is hard enough enough to gauge the ghosts rough location difficult to see as it already was.

Had she gotten through? Maybe, but not quite.
“There is a lot we still need to discuss, and I feel I have offended, pushed you beyond what you were ready for. That was never my intent, I want to help you, I want us to work together.”
Because if she has to come back? Being nice was not an option.
