Spirits

Spirits are described as entities capable of being influenced by the fumes of substances like incense and are often of a low and sensual order. These beings are known to gather and perform acts of mischief or seek revenge when drawn to such aromas. Spirits can influence the Astral Light, potentially causing mania and melancholy in humans. They are capable of entering and residing within human bodies through a process known as obsession. Spirits attracted by incense can be influenced further by substances such as tobacco and liquor, suggesting a correlation between the intensity of certain scents and the potency with which spirits are drawn to a location or individual. These entities operate under a network of influence, ranging from the simple allure of scents to the more profound manipulation of the Astral Light and direct interaction with human existence.
