Spirits are denizens of the metaplanes. They’re usually only found when a magician summons them, but there are many free spirits who live unbound on the material plane. Here is the game information for the six types of spirits in this book.

Physical Attributes

The Physical attributes listed below are used when a spirit is materialized in the physical plane. The minimum attribute rating is 1, even if the table says it should be lower.

Skills

Spirits have the listed skills at a rating equal to their Force.

Movement

On the physical plane, spirits’ Walking rate is Agility x 2. Their Running rate is Agility x 4. They can move in any direction, ignoring gravity. They use the Running skill to "sprint" for +2 meters per hit.

Optional Powers

For every 3 full points of Force a spirit has, it has one optional power. A spirit can’t change the optional powers it has.
