As a rule, spirit forms are metahuman sized or smaller and tend to have an obvious ethereal or otherworldly nature. When in the material plane, spirits are considered dual natured. Spirits have some standard general appearances, but ultimately within reason may manifest in the physical realm as the summoner requests them to. The natural form of a spirit is its astral form, but as long as it has the materialization power, it may manifest on the physical plane. The exact relationship between a spirit and its summoner will depend largely upon the character’s tradition.Ī spirit’s personality is often appropriate to the summoner’s tradition and may range from that of semi-intelligent beast or a distinctly human personality.
They have their own personalities, foibles and so forth. Its always wise to treat them with respect. Spirits object strenuously to expending their energies to power spell binding, most spirits resist (and perhaps resent) being bound to magicians and many show an aversion to particularly intense astral auras.Īlways remember that while a spirit may owe you services, they are always independent, self aware beings.
Regardless of what spirits may or may not want, and the subject is still in the air, all spirits have things they don’t want. The united nations accord on sapient species does not recognize spirits, despite the fact that several member nations posses spirits as heads of state. Further it is not at all obvious what, if anything a spirit ‘eats’.Īs even the most generous legal codes require a being to be alive in order to have rights, spirits are not recognized as independent entities by many nations. While a spirit can move, react to stimulo, and repair itself evidence of spirit reproduction has been elusive. Spirits which are conjured by mages who have previously mistreated or disrespected other spirits, are aware of these previous exchanges and responded accordingly.Ĭomplicating the debate over spirit sapience is the fact that they ave yet to be conclusively demonstrated to be alive in the classic sense. Paradoxical, then, are the documented incidents where other spirits demonstrate knowledge and memories consistent with having independently existed in a particular location or even another world for much longer periods of time. Some spirits exhibit knowledge of concepts and conventions such as language, names and popular culture that heavily imply or, some say prove, that these are creations of the mages own mind. Whatever spirits are, a mage calls and a spirit appears.
