=== Nascent Spirits ===

Nascent spirits are newly formed, unstable presences. Often tied to minor geological actions, they manifest from shifting sediment, mineral formation, or momentary resonance. These spirits are brief and ~~reactive—invoked~~ in basic rites by novices or used as indicators of change ~~in a deeply static world~~.

=== Mature Spirits ===

Mature spirits arise from repeated patterns and communal recognition. Unlike nascent spirits, they possess defined personality traits and limited agency. They are invoked in everyday Duranthi and Capamos life.

These spirits are neither fully autonomous nor entirely ~~symbolic—they~~ occupy the middle realm between presence and concept, often entangled with local rites or vocational traditions.

=== Ancestral Spirits ===

Ancestral spirits are the oldest and most deeply rooted entities in Terasil, often embodying events, lineages, or epochs. Unlike gods or elemental lords, they are not ~~omnipotent—but~~ they are vast, weighty, and embedded in the realm’s long memory.

They are rarely invoked directly. Most communication occurs through rituals. Appeasement, not command, defines the relationship.
