Changes: Spirit Physiology

Revision as of 00:56, 12 January 2020

"Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

Hotspur: Why, so can I, or so can any man;

But will they come when you do call for them?"

― William Shakespeare, Henry IV Part 1

"Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth

Unseen, both when we wake, and when we sleep."

― John Milton, Paradise Lost (1667; 1674), Book IV, line 678.

The power to use the abilities of spirits. Variation of Mythic Physiology.

Also Called

Spectre Form/Mimicry/Physiology
Spirit Form/Mimicry
Soul/Spectral/Spiritual Physiology

Capabilities

User with this ability either is or can transform into a spirit: a supernatural and conscious (although may not be necessarily sentient) being that in its normal state is incorporeal, invisible and immaterial. Many spirits are able to materialize either by shifting into a more solid form or by taking a vessel to give them physical shape, which can be done either by possessing an already existing form (either a living being or an object) or by animating and wrapping part of the environment "around" them.

There are several types of spirits, ranging from the souls of dead (ghosts) to the spirits of places, objects, concepts and/or elements. Several forms of magic center around contacting and bargaining with spirits.

Applications

Variations

Types of Spirit

Ghost Physiology: spirits/souls of the dead, often bound to stay until certain conditions are met. This can vary from honorable burial, unfinished business/revenge or self-appointed duties. Ancestral spirits are part of this group, given their involvement/ties with their families.

Banshee Physiology
Baykok Physiology: Flight, Enhanced Archery, Paralysis Inducement
Ghost Lord Physiology
Mutated Ghost Physiology
Poltergeist Physiology
- Transcendent Poltergeist Physiology
Revenant Physiology
Superior Ghost Physiology
Transcendent Ghost Physiology
Wraith Physiology

Nature Spirit Physiology: manifestations/embodiments of natural phenomena, places, elements or animals.

Animal Spirits/Totems: spirits connected to either certain species (cats, hawks), family (felines, raptors) or class (mammals, birds)
- Animal Manipulation, Animal Imitation
Elementals/Elemental Spirits: spirits of certain elements.
- Elemental Manipulation, Elemental Mimicry
- Ala Physiology
- German Physiology
Genius loci: spirits of places, either natural areas or objects or places that could include cities or buildings.
- Environment Manipulation

Associations

Limitations

Certain forms of magic and/or technology may allow their users to control and/or imprison spirits.
May be vulnerable to any abilities that affect spirits such as a Spirit Barrier or Exorcism.
Susceptible to Soul Destruction, Soul Mutilation, Nonexistence, Absolute Destruction, and other abilities that may harm or destroy souls/spirits.

Trivia

The soul is in fact the true one's being, while on the other hand, the organic body (for example the Human body) acts like a bio-suit for the soul to fit into and to control. In analogy terms, this is reminiscent of driving a robotic mech, but only the spirit is taking control of the body.
