MO Spoce balls?

Okay, okay... What is this about Abe needing to collect spoce to possess Sligs? And not only that, but you also have to stear a spoce ball in to 'em!?
Is this true? Or have I got my wires crossed somewhere along the line?
Abe has never had to collect anything before to have the right to chant! He has always just had the inert abillity!... Why would OWI change the way it was... Their changing Oddworld into a platform game.
... Now don't get me wrong, I think the idea of spoce is good- as a spirital curency- but it should merely enhance Abe's powers- Not act as a sorce... I mean he should be able to chant and possess his enemys without spoce, exept without it he would have a limmited range and prelonged chanting time to do it, with his powers being at their worst as good as they where in AO and AE... And the hole idea of having to stear a glowing ball into 'em dosent seem to be fun (if you know what I mean), why can't it be auto-matic?
And also the instuction booklet specified several times that Abe can possess industrial creatures, but is this just OWI way of saying that he can't possess wildlife any more?

PLEASE LET ME BE WRONG ABOUT ALL OF THIS!!!

This is why game develippers should let out more info before finnalising their games!

The glowing ball thing was probably a necessity, so that you can decide who to possess. After all, with the new 'open-plan' game, the game isn't parcelled up into little screens any more...

I'm only guessing, and I haven't a clue about the rest, and although I have already expressed a little distaste about the idea of Spooce, I won't muddy the waters here...

I'm sure that it could stear it's self in to the best target. I mean if you have the choice between a Big Bro and a Boncer its pretty plain who you should take. Or it could be a sort of aimming thing where who ever is most in front of you is your target...

... But this is only a small quirk for me, I just hate the idea of needing to collect spoce to possess.
