The lowest rank among wind spirits. A small spirit with wings like a butterfly or dragonfly, appearing wherever wind blows.

The lowest rank among light spirits, known by two names: Friar's Lantern and Jack-o'-lantern. It appears as a small flickering light in marshes or dark forests.

The intermediate rank of wind spirits, known by names such as Sylph, Shuriel, and Sylaphe. Nimble and free-spirited, it loves flying above all else. Appears in humanoid form but its body is hazy and transparent like wind, famously disappearing in an instant and reappearing elsewhere.

Shade — Intermediate Shadow Spirit

The intermediate rank of shadow spirits. Takes shadow as its body and can appear from any shadow. Similar to a human silhouette but always existing on the opposite side from light.

Kagutsuchi · 軻遇突智 — King of the Destructive Flame

The supreme fire deity of Japanese mythology. At the moment of his birth, his flames burned his mother Izanami to death — a symbol that creation and destruction are inseparable.

Fire is both death and birth, and he is the king who embodies that contradiction in himself.
