Spirit

A Spirit is the term for a disembodied entity which is not dead and which can be said to exemplify something, be that a concrete thing like a cat or an abstract concept such as a predator or love.

Werewolves like Brandon James are deeply concerned with the spirit realm in which they reside and its openings to our plane of existence, being partly spirit themselves. Some mages bind spirits to items or living things to create Familiars,

And some spirits themselves reach the physical plane with an agenda. These sometimes turn a human being into a Host, devouring their soul and mind to make metaphysical space to inhabit and puppeteer the body.
