Well, she was for about 15 minutes in Chapter 1.  After the contract was 
established, her role as antenna and her ability to read minds disappeared 
(something a lot of fanfic authors seem to forget, by the way).  She can still 
read emotional states, but not thoughts.

Well, Peorth returns to Heaven in Volume 11 by simply fading out.  I seem to 
remember it being described as some kind of "space sliding technique".  Sounds 
a lot like space folding.  I suppose there wasn't a camera handy in the 
clubhouse.  Also, the whole medium thing is more a matter of convenience than 
necessity.  Urd seems to travel through whatever she wants to (TVs, camera 
lenses, walls, water...)

Ash wood, of course!  ^_-  
Actually, the pics of what is probably Yggdrasil in Volume 17? 18? show a tall,
spire-shaped building of sorts with lots of intricate stuff floating around it.

It certainly was biological in Norse mythology!  In AMS, though, Yggdrasil 
appears to be a construct.  Not much biological-looking stuff.
