So i'm new and kinda been wanting to bounce some ideas off people, and found this forum. To get started i have been creating a fantasy world, and i have thought up of a system for "spirits", aka entities bound to certain places, buildings, or objects. They derive power from belief and what they're bound to. For example, a spirit could be bound to a river and as such they would reflect its nature in a ethereal form (Basically the river itself can manifest itself in a ethereal figure). A calm river would form a calmer spirit, though a river that is rough, fast, and has great rapids would likely reflect in a more aggressive and tumultuous spirit. If a river was subject to local legends, it would reflect them (Say, that the river was a river for divine fish or something, it could take on the ethereal figure of a fish person). Thats the basic idea, though I have a few more idea such as the death of spirits, artificial spirits, stuff like that. Anyways, any comments or questions on the basics of this idea?
