UNIVERSAL GHOST TRAITS
Can pass through any walls
Can change their appearance with considerable concentration on their part
Once they become accustom to a new appearance, they can maintain it with ease.
Some can practice having very fluid appearances, changing them based on need, but tend to be unstable
Tend to cause cold spots wherever they stand.
Can teleport to places they are familiar with
Are anchored to people, places, or things that they feel attached to
These [nouns] can change if their feelings about the subject change
If the [noun] they are attached to is destroyed, that can start the Fading process
Can choose to not be seen by Mediums with great focus
Ghosts have a certain amount of energy that they use to do any of these actions
Overtaxing the energy they have causes them to lose their sense of self and eventually Fade
Ghosts can regain energy by resting or by consuming psychic energy
