Summary

Spirits come in various shapes and sizes. From the mischievous Wisps to the dangerous Poltergeists. Spirits should not be mistaken for the Undead, which are in a category of their own. They are generally resistant to physical attacks to an extent.

Spirits are not compatible with Were Fangs creation.

Types

Binders

Binders typically come in two subtypes, Living Armor, and Poltergeists. Binder Spirits are considered Invisible until they permanently take possession of an Object, or Demense. Once their Object they’ve come to possess is destroyed, or their Core is destroyed within a Demense, they continue to be able to move at will; commonly using physical attacks of various sorts.

Binders are the most physically vulnerable of the Spirit types - as resistant as that which they’ve decided to possess.

The will of Binders is generally impossible to comprehend, and generally, it is considered that these kinds of beings simply ‘are’.

Brights

Brights are visible Spirits that do not possess anything or anyone - such as Wisps and Ghosts. They generally are found in places of nature, and can even be benign at times. They tend to use magic, rather than physical attacks, as they are unable to interact to any great extent with the physical. As such, physical attacks are considered weak against them - unlike magic.

They are considered fae-like and are sometimes even able to communicate with those around them through simplistic and child-like words and express their emotions with the color of their bodies. Though the latter changes in meaning for every bright.
