Coalesced Spirit

Picture MIA

Though little is known about the origins of the Apparitions, it is well-documented that they appear to be beings of energy which seem to be powered by pure hatred. They seem almost human at times, as a form can sometimes be discerned in the swirl of energy that makes up their bodies, but no one is quite sure whether this is an illusion or not. A Coalesced Spirit is a more powerful spirit that arises when two Scattered Spirits have combined. The more powerful hatred they embody gives them some resistance to status effects, in addition to their other powers.
