"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 the 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

Composite Spirit Physiology: a spirit formed by multiple other spirits fusing together.

Divine Spirit Physiology: a spirit of divinity who are holy and miraculously godlike.

Fog Spirit Physiology: a spirit/ghost made of not only spiritual energies but also fog, mist, vapor, clouds and smoke.

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.

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

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 one's true 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. If the very soul/spirit is not present within the body, it'll become inanimate.
