It seems strange that a spirit would or even could be "dissipated". I guess it's just my upbringing, but I always assumed that once your spirit has been called to exist, it can't be returned or destroyed. I suppose it fits with the "reap what you sow" maxim: you have to deal with the results of your actions forever. There's no discorporating. Maybe the outer void is a sort of hell? Not a nice place to be anyway...
