Hope you start clearing up questions soon.
When she tripped over the boy, I figured it was just a prank, and when she got back with a teacher they’d be gone and she’d be in trouble for a false alarm.
But this thing with the arrow is just confusing. I don’t mind being as confused as the character in a story, but I hate being more/i> confused. She at least has some baseline experience with what a geist is and can do, whareas your readers have had to piece together bits as we can.
What I’ve gathered so far is they are invisible entities that can cause physical effects (such as her markings and curse), and damage up to and including death). There don’t seem to be any ways to ward aginst them, or something as vulnerable as a boarding school would be sheilded. But they can be detected somehow, or taboo warnings against certain stairways or glass would not be effective.
They can also be affected somehow, or they wouldn’t have the crossbow corps.

Oh, well, onward to answers, hopefully!
They’re pretty mysterious even to people in the comic, but you’ve got it down just about perfectly!
