Novus 1st Edition

These are Familiar Spirits that have no physical form. They will often inhabit some non-magical object or device owned by the caster who summoned them. Some Disembodied Spirits have been known to inhabit cauldrons, amulets, crystal balls, mirrors, and even more unusual objects.

Disembodied Spirits have 3 main abilities. First is the ability to predict the future once per week. However, they can be very uncooperative if asked to do this more than once a month. These Spirits may also, once per week, answer a simple yes or no question (i.e. “Am I the fairest in the land”), but its answer will often be verbose and couched in rhyme. Finally, the Disembodied Spirit may use its vessel to scry for its master, showing him a person or place that the master wishes.

Disembodied Spirits also have a tendency to go insane after a period of time, and this results in them misbehaving badly, singing (off-key), telling bad jokes, insulting everybody, and occasionally even refusing to obey their master.

Unlike Familiar Spirits, Disembodied Spirits cannot simply be dismissed. They must, instead, be banished by way of a spell.

Note: GMs should remember that the Disembodied Spirit only tells the most probable future and that the telling of it likely changes the circumstances and can prevent it from happening.
