Spectral Amalgam

Immortal Freedom RPG > Non-player Entities (NPCs) > Spirit Remnants

Spectral amalgams are formed when a large collection of spirit remnants or free-floating essence merges into a single, spectral entity made of essence. They are terrifying, malignant shades of pure magic and emotion, unable to communicate except to convey their rage and instill fear.

Spectral amalgams fight until their destruction, being totally unconcerned with their own existence or well-being.
