When such a rift occurs on the Negative Energy Plane, spirits frequently try to flee through it in the hopes of giving the laugh to their all-consuming prison. 'Course, they almost always fail. Most of the time, these would-be escapees're drawn back by the negative energy. It's what powers them, after all.If the leak leads to the Quasielemental Plane of Radiance, though, any spirits that manage to slip through are able to stay. Apparently, their link to the Negative Energy Plane is somehow negated or thwarted by the natu re of Radiance. The brilliantly illuminated quasiplane doesn't cause the negative energy itself to dissipate - the spirits're still infused with its dark force, still able to move about freely despite being dead (or, really, undead) - but it does alter them. Radiance adopts these wayward phantoms, making them its own. Yet still they retain the darkness in their hearts – and their thirst for life.Negative energy leaks onto other planes, and wraiths, spectres, and other undead spirits often go with it. Most of the time, they're inexorably drawn back to their cold, dark home, but once in a while they manage to escape. The darklight, for example, is an undead entity able to form a brand-new existence on the quasiplane of Radiance.Vacuous, Undead Vacuous: Another example: the vacuous, an undead spirit that escapes the Negative Energy Plane through one of the rare leaks that spills onto the quasiplane of Vacuum. How do they avoid being drawn back to their home? Simple - they literally lose themselves in the nothingness of Vacuum. The endless void swallows them up.Once on the quasiplane, the spirits take on properties related to their new environment. They become the creatures known as the vacuous: short humanoids with large heads, beady black eyes, and eggshell-white skin that's covered in tiny cracks.Vacuous, Short Humanoid With a Large Head Beady Black Eyes and Eggshell-White Skin That's Covered in Tiny Cracks, Extremely Intelligent Undead: ?Darklight, Wayward Phantom, Animate Undead Apparition, Man-Shaped Specter of Blackness With Bright Shining Eyes of Everchanging Colors and its Whole Form is Surrounded by a Nimbus of Multicolored Light, Intelligent Creature, Creature of Radiance, Vicious Predator: ?Summoned Darklight: ?Undead, Undead Entity, Undead Monster, Undead Creature: When a mortal spirit leaves its body upon death, it usually becomes a petitioner on the Outer Plane that most closely matches its alignment or devotion.
