-"Spirit" is an intentionally broad term that covers a wide range of creatures from folklore and mythology that might appear in a game, from generic animistic spirits that invisibly occupy the material world to more specific beings like angels, fairies, elementals, godlings, daemons, genies, ancestral ghosts, fiends, genius loci or personified primordial forces. If you're more interested in dealing with spirits than being one, you should also check out the [[Theurge]] or [[Summoner]] classes. Spirits that move between this world and their own invisible and abstracted realm are very often multiclassed as a [[Spectre]] or a [[Dreamwalker]].
