Risk level: Low

Weaknesses: Silver in earlier stages, None in latter

Description: This is a particulary nasty ghost. It doesn't take a solid form, maybe a vague human shape, until it possesses someone. Then they slowly take form which they have had in their previous lives, while changing how their hosts looks based on that. Given enough time they can completely change someone's appereance and even gender.

They can form from people with enough pride and self interest to stick with them to their afterlife. Usually they can manifest themself from arogant nobles, kings and other high ranking people, but there were cases where even normal citizens became those spirits.

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

Thankfully, the only think they can do to a person is to change the original appereance and not their personality, although if not exorcised fast enough those changes can become permanent, and in few cases cause suicides of their victims. If the person dies while still possessed, the first spirit moves on to another one to continue its obsessive work.

Personal notes: "They are the perfect example why foul behaviour can destroy someone's life. In this situation it is rather unfair that the aftereffect of the act reflects on victims, but world is hardly fair, and we cannot wait for it to deal with our problems. The best thing we can do is to fight back against sin and foulishness, by pulling out by the roots the causes of such behaviour. Nobels should have in mind the good of their people and not only filling up their pockets with wealth." Garold Jakil, exorcist
