YR7:
I'd say - use that MuCo B30 guideline, but make it a Ritual spell, and the Might cannot exceed raw vis x 5 invested in the spell's casting. Unlike a real Magical spirit, your Might Pool never regenerates, and you still can be affected by Corpus as that's your underlying essential nature. Your powers would be highly limited, requiring Form requisites in the spell's casting and totalling to no more than half the spell's level [so you could cast them spontaneously]. You gain Warping from high auras and so on as normal even though you appear to have Might - because really, you don't.
I think that pretty much assures this isn't a major power hike, so why not allow it?
I was thinking formulaic spell, just like Cloak of Mist, that doesn't change you into an air elemental
If going ritual, adding requisites, piling on magnitudes... Sure, but we're talking of a different beast

Temporarily, sure, just like you can turn into mist. Just use MuCo base 30: "Turn a human into an insubstantial object."
However, you wouldn't have any might or powers, you'd just become "akin to a spirit", invisible and intangible.
Why not allow this as well? Hermetic magic cannot change your essential nature so you can't really change into a Magical spirit, but why can't you don the "mantle" of one just as you can don the form of a wolf?

The Mysteries: Revised edition (page 44) says that "Hermetic theory does not in itself [outside the context of the Mystery virtue being described] possess the ability to grant Magic Might to a human", so it would need to be a house rule.
By the Medieval Paradigm arn't insubstantial spirits made of magical vapors or the like. Hence the whole Airy Spirit classification and also why the whole turning into an insubstantial form with MuCo requires a Auram Req.

I think than Vim maybe not, but Mentem probably; that Form still bieng one of the most "ethereal" to work.
