Odic
by John Walter BilesIn the lands of the Ethengars and in some other places, it is possible for spirits to pass in and out of Mystara and their home, the Spirit World. Ethengar shamans train to deal with such beings.
Common Spirit Powers (Possessed by all)
Materialise/Dematerialise (standard, at-will)
Spirits may turn immaterial (or back to normal) as a standard action. This gives them Fly 6, the Insubstantial Quality, and Invisibility. A spirit may only effect other dematerialised spirits when immaterial. Dematerialised spirits are not invisible to each other.
Cantrips (standard; at-will)
Spirits may use any of the standard wizard cantrips; the most mischievous spirits use them A LOT to mess with people.
Undead Spirits possess bodies of the dead turning them into horrible undead monstrosities. They lose most of their powers during the day and tend to roam constantly instead of haunting a single spot.

During the day, Odics wander up to 24 miles; at night, they settle into a plant, usually something fairly large like a tree. They then start luring in animals and sentients and sucking the life out of them. The plant in question dies and crumbles once they leave it the next morning.
