IIRC RuneQuest II had it that such spirits (including allied spirits) would get
a POW tick, but ONLY make their POW tick on a roll of 01-05. Again, my mind is
kinda fuzzy on this point, but in RQ II the spirits had no maximum POW. SO old
spirits just naturally had a huge POW. I can't recall how much of that is true.

RQ III had no specific rules concerning this, and so presumably spirits were
treated exactly like normal beings, so their maximum POW is calculated as per
normal embodied beings and they get POW ticks and POW gain rolls as per every
other creature.
