Over time the ghost looses a sense of self eventually becoming a genius loci and eventually fading away. we have witches called stick binders that use old worn down spirits to animate sticks for them to perform tasks. Stick binders definitely are going to start trading in teeth.

Why does "demons use souls as currency" seem trite, but "the merchants down by the river use souls as currency" seem monstrous?<br /><br />Poor little bastards--when do they get to shuffle off to some dim afterlife?Arnold Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12603155377769597516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754170279177021419.post-28711473087447631902019-11-14T12:55:05.202-08:002019-11-14T12:55:05.202-08:00In my imagination, the souls of the Madrogi don...In my imagination, the souls of the Madrogi don't escape when the fragile straw falls apart- instead, they're bound back into the tooth they came from.

Imagine seven birds that were huddled together in a nest during a storm. As the storm stops, each bird begins to realize that they are not a seven-beaked creature whose lower half is a nest; they take flight. This is what happens when a body decays.’<br /><br />If for nothing else today, I thank you for this.
