Ghosts, Spirits and Poltergeists:
Ghosts, spirits and poltergeists have a few limitations on their presence and abilities.
- Ghosts etc. cannot come out during the day. Their energy is often not strong enough to appear during the day. Ghosts are like vampires in regards to the sun. They need to be below ground when the sun rises. Typically this means a grave, but could also mean a basement or any place they have room. If they're in the sun too long, they cease to exist in this world. (Basically, if this happens, your character will be dead.)
- Ghosts etc. are at their strongest around 3 am, also know as the Witching Hour.
- A ghost's ability to interact with the corporeal world ties strongly to who they were when they were living. Generally, the world is full of ghosts, but they're not strong enough to manifest.
- Manifestation requires either a strong force of will or a moment of great emotional stress, or a combination of the two. People who were magic users in life will have the easiest time manifesting for example.
- Manifestations include : auditory, which is the easiest to achieve, visual, and then semi solid. Objects can only be moved during the semi solid state of manifestation. The hardest manifestation to achieve is full corporeal, solid form. This is usually impossible for a ghost etc. to achieve without the assistance of a conjurer or Witch.
- Ghosts usually have an easier time manifesting to living relatives, so much so that it often happens by accident. For example, the ghost speaks and the relative hears a whisper.
- Ghosts etc can be conjured by an experienced Witch, or sometimes on accident using a Oujia Board. It is not recommended for uninitiated Witches to conjure ghosts or spirits, as other, darker forces can slip through when the opening is made.
- Those attuned to the spiritual realm will always have an easier time seeing and hearing ghosts. Ghosts are also very attracted to those individuals because of their high spiritual energy. This is not limited to invididuals though, and can be extended to objects.
- Ghosts are non-corporeal beings, so they can pass through anything except the ground and structures/artifacts specifically enchanted against ghosts.
- Finally, regarding sexual relations, if the ghost has the will or lust, it can happen. No child can be born from these relations.
