Spiritual Lifeform

**Spiritual Lifeforms** ｢精神生命体, *seishin seimei-tai*, lit. "Mental Organism"｣, also known as **Energy Creatures** ｢精神生命体｢エネルギークリーチャー｣, *enerugī kurīchā*｣, are beings of pure willpower and energy.

## Properties

Spiritual Lifeforms are an almost god-like existence that need only their mind to remain alive. They're a step above Demi-Spiritual Lifeforms and have transcended the body entirely, making them effectively immortal. They are capable of thinking and existing with just their Soul and Astral Body alone, allowing them to resurrect even from the destruction of their Spiritual Body over a long enough period of time. There are only two reliable methods of killing Spiritual Lifeforms, those being the destruction of their soul - **Core Break** ｢心核破壊｢コアブレイク｣, *koa bureiku*｣ – and the total loss of all energy – **Energy Loss** ｢魔素消失｢エネルギーロスト｣, *enerugī rosuto*｣. Any other form of defeat is only temporary and they'll be reborn again somewhere else in the world eventually, though with potential loss of memory or personality.

Due to being existences of pure will, they innately possess an extremely powerful will above that of any lesser being. It is this willpower that makes them extremely resistant to mind control abilities such as Spiritual Domination, though it isn't impossible for them to be affected under the right conditions. A notable example of this would be the poison used by Damrada and Yuuki Kagurazaka, which not only damages the spiritual body but is capable of driving spiritual lifeforms with weaker wills insane. This immense willpower they possess is also what allows them to potentially obtain Ultimate Skills and use them properly.

As psychic beings, the beliefs that Spiritual Lifeforms hold about themselves are extremely important. Not only is their appearance dictated by their own self image, the abilities they develop can also be said to reflections of their desires. Just the act of perceiving an opponent as being superior to themself could be enough to make them lose a fight and truly admitting utter defeat usually results in the loser becoming loyal to the victor or even potentially being fatal. Even unstable emotions due to taunts or similar can change the tide of battle.
