The soul of a holy creature, reft from its body. It is a timid creature, but as something divine, is sure to be protected.

Useful Info

Spirits were supposed to be insubstantial, seemingly harmless holy creatures which did nothing but avoid you, using Blink to escape in spite of their miserably low speed. After roughly 200 turns of existence, however, they immediately turned into random other holy monsters. They are also protected by the Shining One; killing a spirit may result in him smiting you for light damage.

Spells: Blink

Tips & Tricks

Killing them as spirits guaranteed your safety, but you get more XP from killing pretty much any other holy monster.

History

Spirits were designed and considered for use in Crawl, but were never included in any official release.
