Body

A body is a material living thing. It is the physical vessel of sapient creatures, who are also spirits by nature; all other creatures (cecient, tacient, sentient) are only bodies and lack spirits. Spirits lack bodies but are able to indwell an empty body that has a soul, the seat of the spirit in a body. Fae have mutable bodies, which are similar to those of people but can change form much like a spirit changes its manifestation.
When bodies are damaged enough by injury or disease they cease to function and will begin to decay. The first step to bringing a body back to life is to repair the damage done to it. The body will begin to live again, and for sapient creatures, the spirit must be reattached or it will remain a beast.
