Spirits

Beings composed entirely out of something most refer to as "aether" which functionally is a type of invisible magical essence that flows from Shetsoucay

Spirits are basically Fairies, they come in all forms and have varying abilities though the general rule is the more aether one is packed with, the more power one has


 * While spirits can be killed, aether itself cannot be destroyed - loose aether already flows freely around the world though its most densely concentrated in the Forest of Spirits, Shetsoucay, home to many spirits and deities
 * Aether has a harmful affect on humans, it can cause bizarre corruptions in physical form or even the mind if exposed to it for long periods of time - loose aether also has a tendancy to cling or "seep into" non-spirits (thought vampires and animals are often much better protected from it than humans for some reason)
 * There is a form of aether corruption some humans are born with (or granted) which gives them strange powers and a starry texture on their body in exchange for some sort of physical or mental "cost"
