Planar Spirits

By following the Ferryman, you may summon the spirits of those sent to each realm. These spirit's service is a part of their payment for having a peaceful afterlife, so don't feel bad about pulling them at will. Each spirit you can summon is a different spell (Example: Planar Spirits (The Frostbitten) and Planar Spirits (The Burn Victim) must be purchased separately)

Each spirit takes a 5 minute ritual to summon, and will stay on this plane for 1 hour before dissipating back to it's afterlife. It will follow your mental commands without question, but it can't do much more than walk to a spot or "attach" to a willing host. You cannot have more Spirits summoned than you have levels in Power Investiture (The Ferryman), and you cannot have more than one of the same kind of spirit summoned at a time.

Universal Stats

Every spirit has the some of the same stats:

• They are invisible to anyone but the caster and those with the ability to see Insubstantial beings.
• They have an HP of 10 and will dissapate when it reaches an HP of 0.
• They are all Insubstantial, are unaffected by gravity, and can Permeate through any objects that isn't designed or enchanted to keep spirits away.
• Each spirit has a separate ability to affect those around it. This will affect everyone that comes within its range.
• They all have a Basic Move of 1, but they may "attach" to a willing host of IQ 6+. The host is always affected by the spirit's effect (does not need to succeed a Will or HT roll), whether it's beneficial or not. There can only be one spirit attached to a host at a time.
