Awhile back my son told me a story of how he uses his sword to cut ghosts to pieces and then eats them. Now I have an idea. Presupposing this is a thing, what if ghosts in my world aren't the literal spirits of the dead but creatures that consume the life energy of people dying and thereby take on certain traits of that person. However, some people are exterminators if these extra dimensional pests by using swords and eating the ghosts and getting magic thereby. What would a world like that look like? How idiotic is this idea?
