Category:Espira

Espira (eh-SPEAR-uh) are the third stage of the khimaerian life cycle. The first is that of humans, and the second is that of khimaera. Some espira may also ascend the physical plane as a Catharia.

Biology
Espira are no longer biological creatures. They are formed from the iether of a khimaera's soul; in essence, they are the soul's true form. However, they are a separate consciousness from the original khimaera. There are no limitations on what they might look like.

They will not die of old age, but can die if they lose all their iether or if their soul is destroyed. Some may lose the will to live, and their essence will dissipate and return to the iether.

There are a few espira that can experience catharsis. As time passes, their iether and soul become more and more attuned to the world's natural iether. At a certain point, the espira becomes so attuned that they become one with nature itself, ascending as a will into the iethereal plane. These wills are called the Catharia.

Espira are powerful users of iether, able to cast powerful spells with ease. They influence iether almost as a force of nature.
