I think it was an introduction. Given that I have a dear friend who is training to speak to the spirits, there is no reason you could not be, and no, there isn't necessarily a distinction.
Speaking of Mage, the protagonist reminds me very much of that wonderful alien you met on the Far Side of the Moon - the unfinished leonine alien who had shaped himself into a somewhat more humanoid form, had four arms and could reach around spacesuits (through the dimensions) to clasp your face in greeting. I wish I could remember his name; he was a neat character (or entity, since I'm not sure I made him up).
