Animistic Spirits

== Description ==
Mostly what separates a Spirit from a Ghost, is the fact that Spirits were never human. They house themselves exclusively within the Spirit Realm and are seldom seen outside of it. Spirits range in intelligence from the more animal-like Elemental (see above) to the more inquisitive Shadow Person – a being of pure shadow often with glowing red or white eyes that sometimes act as omens. These types very seldom interact with the physical world though the more mischievous of them do enjoy pranking or frightening the unsuspected, feeding off the chaotic energy produced by most living creatures. Many Spirits also tend to linger around certain areas or objects for reasons unknown, though the history contained within these items or territories is clearly a factor. Spirits are often drawn to things that have absorbed certain kinds of experiences. The intended nature of the object, such as whether it’s a weapon or tool, can also have an effect upon the kinds of Spirits that it may accumulate. Respectively, the more peaceful Spirits often attach themselves to more natural formations such as trees, rocks, earth, even animals. The more aggressive kinds can manifest around weapons that have tasted blood or flesh. Not every object or area is inhabited by a Spirit, however, as there are many types. Some of which are unrelated to anything in the physical world at all and are rarely, if ever experienced, without the aid of a medium of some kind.
   It should be known that these Spirits that attach themselves to particular places or objects are often the most basic form, similar to herbivores in our world. Many are more compliant, docile, than others, but even herbivores wield massive strength and weaponry of their own. Other Spirits do not require a particular attachment to an area or object, simply going from place to place, following its main source of food - that of other Spirits - in order to maintain its existence. These are perhaps the ones to be the most wary of when travelling through the Spirit World, as they will happily feast on souls as much as they would other Spirits.
