[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 2965910, member: 1125"] Animism is the main beleif system IMC and thus 'spirits' are often encountered as NPCs. Indeed I have a whole chain of Islands each with its own resident Celestial Merrow-Magi (ie Aquatic Ogre-Magi) usually as guardian but occasionally as Tyrant ruler. Other NPC spirits encountered have been a Feindish dire eel (worshipped by gnomes), a Magama Paraelemental volcano god, an abberation created using a Half-Fiend Aquatic Otyugh Scorcerer (he also had a half-human daughter who is also an important NPC), a celestial heron, the King of the Mountain (Earth Elemental), various Fey, a Hag, half-fiend/Half-dragon trolls, weather spirits, half-dragons, genius loci island guardians and similar. Spirits also make a convinient way of controlling magic items. IMC only spirits can endow masterwork items with 'special powers' and they also give other boons. In an early adventure the PCs helped a celestial heron who awarded them by gifting one of her feathers as a feather token. Besides various weapons the Lightning god gifted one of the PCs with the ability to call lightning, whilst another holds a magical fishhook of fish summoning. The PCs also possess a 'calabash of the winds' gifted to them by the Ocean-mother herself and a ship specially built for them by the 'spirits of the forest', which is occupied by a spider-spirit who is able to mend any damage to the ship or crew (by spinning a magical 'healing' web) [/QUOTE]
