Each Full Round your Lantern is lit, you gain 1 Spirit. When you give the Spirit Purpose, it expends its energy and gains passage to the afterlife.
Any time a death takes place in your Lantern Light, gain a Spirit if they were an ally, or a Hostile Spirit if they were an adversary.

Spirit is used to activate a variety of Actions and Effects. Spirits may also be used in place of accumulating Spiritual Stress.

“There is something about the gentle light of the lanterns which bring spirits. A familiarity from the life once lived. It is said spirits follow lanterns even during the day because to be in between worlds is to live in near total darkness.”
