WoD Spirit Ranks

• Spirits have ranks of power that are apparently tied to their level of spiritual power, which in turn establishes their role within the spiritual ecosystem.
• There are three common ranks of spirits: spirits that simply exist without interaction of any sort, spirits that operate on an instinctual level only based on their "theme" and spirits that operate with human-like sentience.

Muthra

Rank 0

• Spirits that operate without any real interaction at all are sometimes simply called Reflections or Emanations - they exist merely because of the influence of something in the physical world existing, and the Shadow needing to create a reflection of that.
• They are very weak, subsisting on lesser Essence flows.
• They fulfill the role in the spiritual ecosystem that many plants do.
• In fact, because of this, they often take on very plant-like traits.

Hursihim

Rank 1 (Hursih) • Rank 2 (Hursah)

• Also called "Gafflings" (Lesser and Greater) or Squires and Knights.
• Spirits that operate on a primarily instinctual level.
• Their instinctual nature grants them the ability to move and use their spiritual power, but they almost always do so in accord with their Essential nature and Resonance.
• They usually have animal-like forms, even those that are not associated with animals.

Ensihim

Rank 3 (Ensih) • Rank 4 (Ensah)

• Also called "Jagglings" (Lesser and Greater), or Barons and Counts.
• Truly potent spirits operate with sentience the equal or even superior of humanity.
• As a result, they often take on humanoid forms, and while their central desires are still related to their Resonance, they can plan and scheme in very human ways.
