Specters

Specters are very powerful combinations of two animi who must be separated, while a Banshee is the combination of all three animi. Their dangerosity is twofold, as specters are essentially two extremely fragile personalities forced into one entity with vast powers. 
== Other race specters ==
In other race cultures, Specters are the vengeful dead returned from the grave, returning to complete unfinished work, to fulfill an oath or to seek revenge on a wrongdoing.
In legends, specters and banshees only return when the deceased is an orphan, the last of its clan, and is without children. As such its debt cannot be repaid by its children or its family, and will do so himself as a specter. 
Not everyone can see them on their spectrum. They are transparent and partially immaterial, they disturb water and fire as they pass. Fire turns blue as they pass. Certain materials (Silver for example) are ghost proof, and they cannot pass through them. They cool things around them in a field. They precipitate ectoplasm which is a derivative of HP. They are affected (but not killed) by gases, but they can be petrified. When petrified they are affected by wind. They are very UV sensitive and will flee strong light sources. 
Specter haunting makes a place cold and roughly translates in the complete control of the place by the immaterial personality. 
== Dalmer specters ==
Specters are the combination of two animi at the moment of post vitam, much like Banshees.
A key difference between a Banshee and a Specter is the former has the ability to speak. Specters are mute.
Most often specters are simply ghosts in need of psychological counseling.
Necromancer and Seers try to separate the animi fused together in a Specter in an attempt to stop the animi from hurting itself or others.
Specters are unique in the fact that they seem to exhibit all the traits normally associated with the different types of immaterial undead such as possession, haunting and telekinesis.
== Treatment ==
In order to avoid complications when a Specter is created from a recently deceased dalmer, they can be captured within Soul containers while awaiting psychological treatment at a Necromancers practice. 
If the Specter cannot be contained, a necromizer (a piece of technology that forcefully separates undead entities) can be used.
It has been recently found that systematic separation of specters or banshees is sometimes even more damaging psychologically for the undead.
== Types of specters ==
Specters come in several combinations.
Types of specters
Animi 1	Animi 2	Name 	Powers
Ghost 	Spirit 	Phi Specter 	Possession of people with telekinesis
Soul 	Ghost 	Zeta Specter	Mass object haunting with extra effects
Spirit 	Soul 	Tau Specter 	Possession of people and objects
== Possible origins ==
Example of how the Dalmer use the warpnet in combat situations. It is an episode of silent majority rebellion following a policy of mandatory brain scanning to produce power. To quiet the silent majority, the local gov locked up the entities, which starved them, giving the new species. When they escaped confinement, the spectres killed hundreds, throwing the kurat into chaos and promoting imperial response.
