Vessel

A vessel is a person who holds a spirit within their body, and as such gains whatever ability that spirit can endow to them. No spirit can use their abilities without a vessel, making both necessary to each other for their power. Spirits choose their vessels based on a myriad of traits, usually how well the vessel matches with their own personality or priorities.
