A soul is a being's unsignatatured "mana" or life energy.
A spirit is the mana or life energy that is tagged with the being's self in some way. It is contains some on the being's mind, element, and alignment.
When a being is alive, the soul and spirit fuse as the soul copies the spirit and partly becomes tethered to the body and spirit.
When a being dies, the soul loses the spirit's signature and dissapates. The spirit then goes through the afterlife process.
Sorcerers and innately magical beings have spirits with signatures that they can manipulate the copying soul to do arcane magic.
Unintelligent corporal undead are mindless because they both have no spirit and lack a working brain.
Intelligent undead have no soul. Their hunger or obsession is the body's conversion of flesh or energy into soul energy to keep animated.
Dead Body+Soul = Zombie. Skeleton
Dead Body+Spirit= Vampire, Ghoul, Lich, Mummy, Revenent
Spirit+Soul= Ghost or Spectre
Part of Spirit + Soul = Wrath
Elemental Body + Spirit= Elementals, Fey, Outsiders
Elemental Body + False Spirit= Constructs
