Universal Ghost Traits

Can pass through any walls

Can change their appearance with considerable concentration on their part

Once they become accustom to a new appearance, they can maintain it with ease.

Some can practice having very fluid appearances, changing them based on need, but tend to be unstable

Tend to cause cold spots wherever they stand.

Can teleport to places they are familiar with

Are anchored to people, places, or things that they feel attached to

These [nouns] can change if their feelings about the subject change

If the [noun] they are attached to is destroyed, that can start the Fading process

Can choose to not be seen by Mediums with great focus

Ghosts have a certain amount of energy that they use to do any of these actions

Overtaxing the energy they have causes them to lose their sense of self and eventually Fade

Ghosts can regain energy by resting or by consuming psychic energy

Ghost Types

Ghosts can be multiple types, but these different types do require additional energy.

Apparition

Can sometimes be seen, smelled, heard, felt, or (weirdly) tasted by mortals

Is sometimes purposeful, but can be an accident as well.

Can move and manipulate items

Usually manipulate things in a very mortal way, I.E. with their hands, feet, bodies
