Needs to be inspected.

Can a ghost harm a ghost?

We might need to do some raw modding for full !!scientific!! info on these spooks.

[nordak]

Just had a massive tantrum spiral on the other computer after my dwarves decided of their own accord to rush the trolls. all trolls died and 15 dwarves also died.  No ghosts spawned, I only have 2 sane dwarves left.  I'm not sure if my dwarves have souls...  Only two dwarves remaining, the hammerer and a child. The hammerer has 38 notable kills (all dwarves).  Version is .18 and I'm using Deon's genesis mod.

I walled off the outside and I'll try to wait for ghosts.  For !!Science!!.

Its been a long time [since dead dwarves happenes to me]. How have you been? I've been busy being dead, since goblins... you know... MURDERED ME.

*wide blue eye* WHAT!?

Also... ghost magma. We need ghost magma to kill ghosts.

Ectomagma?

Those were your buddies not trolls or goblins that took your life.  Urist Guildeddefense of Stylishprisons hit you with his copper morningstar.  Your brains now line the waterfall generator.

The dwarf... Broke my heart and killed me. And tore me to pieces. And threw every piece into a fire.

Any day now, someone will say they've managed to build a primitive in-game proton stream to catch their ghosts and some sort of muon trap to hold them until invaders come.  And when they do, it's party time.

[WARNING]: This post has a disturbing lack of !!SCIENCE!!, and spelling. Or even sanity.
I HAS THE SOLUTION! 

Even though the ORIGINAL topic was weaponisation, the current question is.. "Can they be killed?". Being the highest most crazy engineer here, I say YES.

Drawbridges.

In the past, since even (some of) the earliest days we willingly remember, drawbridges have been used to eliminate dwarven problems. Either by flinging halfway across the "map" or by reducing to a state of matter more insubstantial than [ABSOLUTELY NOTHING]. Drawbridges do not even need matter to crush, simply something there ceases to exist.
It is the latter property I am interested in. I propose we change the current !!SCIENTIFIC!! endeavors from... whatever they were to seeing...

CAN GHOSTS BE ATOMSMASHED

This could just be the breakthrough we need to stop those whiny b@$turds nobles from shutting down this fine laboratory.
Let the !!SCIENCE!! commence!!

[KaelGotDwarves]

It was already posted in the OP that they can't be "atomsmashed" - killed by dropping drawbridges on them.

[DuckBoy2]

How bout ice?  Does anybody have a working degrinchinator?

[Ze Spy]

I tried to Encase ghosts in ice ten times in a Cold Biome

Didn't kill them , Ghosts can't be Encased in ice

[Ranzear]

For the time being I will consider that the fact ghosts cannot be killed with magma is a bug.

[KojaK]

Nobody has confirmed they can't be; this is all just speculation.

Someone get to work on !!ghosts!!.
