Dusts are supplies created from stone and used to produce concealment, compulsion, enhancement, or movement effects.
Spirits are created from the souls of those who meet an untimely death. Whether this be by violent means or an unfortunate accident, the individual returns to unlife through sheer willpower or ritualistically against their will to continue their life's story where it otherwise would have ended.
Unlike shades, who are living beings who serve reapers, death knights are warriors who have forsaken life and sworn an oath to the Ashen Court. Although they often appear normal from a distance, they are easy to identify by their blackened armor, their cold flesh, and the malevolent light that pours from their eyes at night.
Not a person but the negative image of a place a person ought to be. Shadows flee the light but can sap vitality from the living with a single touch.
Werebeasts, such as werewolves and werebears, are ordinary folk who have succumbed to an ancient curse after being bitten by another werebeast.

In retaliation, his daughter was taken and brutally murdered, with the statement "DEATH IS NOT ART" written in her blood on the nearby wall.
