Editing Arasia (section)

== Spiritual Hierarchy in Arasia ==

Like all branches of [[Osia]], Arasia involves the manipulation of spirits at various stages of development. These spirits represent different aspects of darkness and shadow.

* '''[[Nascent Spirits]]''': Simple, malleable spirits that represent fleeting moments of shadow or darkness, such as the shadow of a tree or a passing cloud. Arasiari often begin by manipulating these nascent spirits to control shadows or obscure light.
  
* '''[[Mature Spirits]]''': These spirits are tied to more defined aspects of darkness, such as the shadows cast by mountains, caves, or regions that are perpetually shrouded in darkness. Influencing mature spirits requires a higher level of attunement, as these spirits are more self-aware and difficult to control.

* '''[[Ancestral Spirits]]''': These are powerful spirits that embody entire realms or concepts of darkness, such as eternal night or the void. Only the most skilled Arasiari would even attempt to communicate with these spirits, as their power is vast and their motives often inscrutable.
