Life cannot exist without spirit. It is the breath inherent in all things. Spirit permeates and surrounds the world of Immortal Legacy and all who dwell there. Those who have opened their eyes to the world of the spirit recognize solitude as an illusion — all life is woven together by threads of fate into the fabric of reality. We are all cut from the same cloth as the mountains, trees, stones, beasts… even the Immortals themselves.

Spirit Users
Grasshopper, you have been touched by the Spirit Realm and gained access to the ambient energy circling throughout the cosmos. As a spirit artist, you harness the very life force inherent in all things to achieve stunning displays of supernatural ability. Be you the warrior monk, the holy sword, or the merciful healer, it begins by honing the spirit (see Chapter 16: Spirit).
Ranks
1. Spirit Initiate
Expoint Cost: 1 point
The first tier of spirit artists are young in their talent. Their connection to the Spirit Realm remains weak but stable as they train. This rank allows you to perform any spirit art you know at Concentration 1.
2. Spirit Pupil
Expoint Cost: 2 points
The second tier of spirit artists demonstrate clear potential. As they seek answers within themselves, they begin to understand the possibilities in manipulating the power of life itself. This rank allows you to perform any spirit art you know at Concentration 2.
3. Spirit Disciple
Expoint Cost: 4 points
The third tier of spirit artists are constantly aware of their place in the continuous ebb and flow of qi (or whatever they choose to call it). Years of discipline have strengthened their abilities. This rank allows you to perform any spirit art you know at Concentration 3.
4. Spirit Mentor
Expoint Cost: 7 points
The fourth tier of spirit artists are bound to the world beyond. Their staggering expertise in wielding spiritual forces enable them to instruct those willing to learn and to seek enlightenment from the powers that be. This rank allows you to perform any spirit art you know at Concentration 4.
5. Spirit Master
Expoint Cost: 11 points
The fifth tier of spirit artists achieve complete mastery over their relationship with the Spirit Realm. They are immensely scarce and can divert the river of fate with their overwhelming power. This rank allows you to perform any spirit art you know at Concentration 5.
In The Story
The Game Master holds the final say on the availability and use of spirit power in the game. One GM might tell a story in which all characters touch the forces of spirit, while another GM could assemble a world where spirit power is distant or nonexistent.
Here are some possible beliefs about spirit power in a world where it is present:
- Dualism. Good and evil are tangible forces in the universe and they manifest as positive and negative spirit power. One can serve either side or fight to maintain the balance.
- Animism. All of nature has a spiritual essence. Every mountain, river, and living thing possesses an eternal spirit. Spirit artists interpret and influence the spirit in all things.
