Revenants

== Description ==
A Revenant is an angry human soul that has been summoned back from beyond the grave and seeks re-entry into the Realm Beyond. These anguished spirits become trapped between worlds, existing in neither the physical nor Spiritual Realm but in the veil in between. They can attach themselves to people or objects, often causing misery and dread wherever they go. Revenants can become quite powerful over time, their madness further driving them to seek vengeance on those who have trapped them in eternal limbo. This conviction can go on for centuries in our physical world, even long after the person responsible for their imprisonment has passed. On the rare occasion that a Revenant is able to be seen, they appear as large, black and jagged, floating cowls with luminous white or red eyes. The younger ones can manifest as something similar to how they appeared in life, but over time this image will fade or become distorted until all that is left is a terrible shadow. Even in the Spirit World, where other Spirits and Souls may appear more solid, the Revenant remains incorporeal and transparent and is able to teleport and flicker in and out of one’s vision as the fabric between realities fluctuates.
   Revenants are rare, rarer still that they are dragged back from the Realm Beyond, as doing so requires great magic and much discipline in the art of Necromancy. And so the few that do exist are most likely ones that were drawn from the Spirit Realm before they had a chance to pass deeper into Death.
   A person who has been possessed by a Revenant spirit then becomes a Dybbuk.
