Spirits

All throughout the Outer Cosmos exist a class of incorporeal beings referred to as Spirits. Resembling disembodied souls, spirits are alien creatures to corporeal lifeforms with strange desires and needs not well understood. These desires manifest as sometimes preferred actions, emotional response in mortal beings, or seeing certain images or patterns. Others among them may simply seek out physical objects of their desire or coerce these objects from mortals. Many races across the cosmos know of the presence of spirits and have differing relations to them. Oftentimes they revere these spirits, fear and ward them off, or regularly deal with them. Spirits are beings of mana, and thus capable of magic, though a bizarre brand of magic. Mortals may seek out Spirits desiring use of these strange magics, especially witches, and make deals with these beings.
