Capabilities[]

The users are spirit mediums, individuals that can perceive, communicate or otherwise interact with the souls/spirits of others. They can banish these entities from an area or summon souls/spirits that will defend them if they were ever to come to harm. They may even have their own soul or spirit enter the different worlds within the afterlife, while having their bodies within the living world entering in a sort of trance-like state. That allows them to return to their body when they're finished with their affairs within the afterlife.

Well-trained mediums are even capable of channeling the powers and other attributes souls/spirits they interact with, making them potential host/conduits for channeling their powers through their own bodies while acting as if these attributes were their own. Mediums may also be able to harm the souls/spirits of others or even command them to fulfill actions that would suit the medium's best interests. They can also allow themselves to be possessed by other souls or spirits, allowing them to take control over their own body. While they are either under a deep trance like state or traveling the afterlife. More powerful mediums have also been known to gain psychic powers through their medium abilities like; extraordinary psychic senses, and some have even been too able to cause telekinetic activity and materializations.
