Spirits are the souls of the dead that still linger in the world. These souls can come from deities, plants, animals, mortals, dragons, giants, and any other living entity. The exact method by which spirits are naturally formed is left to conjecture. Some may have been trapped in this world through garnering a particularly high level of metaphysical energy. Others were transformed for seemingly no reason at all. However, it should be known that the sorcerers of this age have found a few means by which to artificially induce such a state. One such way is through tethering a soul to an object or place, thus resisting the process by which a spirit travels to its afterlife.
