	Spirits are also capable of emerging in other places with sufficiently high magical energy, such as cities or territories with a large magical population. If a creature is born in the area at the same time a spirit emerges, there is a chance the spirit will merge into the newborn creature, making them Spirited. A Spirited creature has the abilities of the spirit they are merged with, and often have aspects of their appearance, such as coloration and markings. They are also imbued with the magical energy of the spirit, with a typical magic level of four or five.

They do not age, and are able to change their shape and size at will, though their default is roughly cat-sized. They are functionally immortal, not needing to eat or sleep, but can be destroyed by a creature with sufficient magic.

They are the only species that are able to travel freely between Ankou and [[Eternity]]. They retain their memory entirely when they are in Eternity. As they are unable to die naturally, they travel to Eternity themselves when they tire of life on Ankou. The longer they stay in Eternity, the more their memories start to fade, until eventually they are as peaceful and blissful as any other creature there.

The first spirit emerged in y5835 in [[Silverwood]], after the reconciliation between the [[Gryphon Mother]] and [[the Beast]]. The first contact in several thousand years between two hugely magical creatures created a spark of pure magical energy that manifested itself into living beings made entirely of magic. The area would continue to spawn spirits for several thousand years.

Spirits are also capable of emerging in other places with sufficiently high magical energy, such as cities or territories with a large magical population. If a creature is born in the area at the same time a spirit emerges, there is a chance the spirit will merge into the newborn creature, making them Spirited. A Spirited creature has the abilities of the spirit they are merged with, and often have aspects of their appearance, such as coloration and markings. They are also imbued with the magical energy of the spirit, with a typical magic level of four or five. Once the creature dies, the spirit is released, gaining a consciousness of their own for the first time.
