<... and you hit a part that isn't the sphere/core in the middle. Does the Ghost feel pain? Is it effectively injured? Does it just get disoriented from the initial shot? I realize that if you stab a Ghost in the eye, you'll kill it. I assume this is due to the core housing the orb of Light that a Ghost actually is. I'm just curious how close you could get to the core without actually harming that orb of Light.
Not only that, but I believe this information is necessary in understanding the Traveler, the Pyramids, and possibly the Winnower itself if it takes up a vessel or shell of some kind.
EDIT - guys I'm just trying to gauge whether the Traveler was actually hurt during the Red War and if the broken shell actually matters in its recovery.>

I dont think Ghost shells being hit would comparable at all to the Travelers shell which has been called the Travelers "flesh" in dreams of Alpha lupi. Ghost shells are fashioned or created, not a part of them.
