Echo (Untrained)
A spirit at this rank may not know or understand what they are. Your abilities are uncontrollable, maybe landing you in random places at random times.
Shadow (Dabbler)
You might know what you are, you might even have come to terms with it. You think there might be something beyond.
Phantasm (Novice)
It's not about being dead anymore. You've become something else, you're sure of it.
Spectre (Apprentice)
You're past mourning your life because you've realized that you're not dead. You're evolved.
Mane (Master)
You're beyond death. You are a creature of notions and concepts. Fluid and powerful, you can affect the world around you with ease and precision.
Eidolon (Legendary)
There are realms even further than this one, you're sure of it. Now to reach them.
