This isreferred to as their Talisman. The only way to permanently destroy the Gheist is todestroy their talisman by melting, shattering or burning it. The Gheist cannot movemore than 7 meters away from this object. They cannot move or carry that objectthemselves, and so must depend on others to carry it for them.

This curse leaves the soulconnected to the mortal realm, without a physical bodyto anchor it. In its place, the Gheist is connected to someobject, a physical talisman of some sort that had somevital connection to them in life. The Gheist’s connectionto this object is so strong that they maynever really be too far from it.Due to their spiritual nature, the Gheist has limitedinfluence over the outside world, and no control overtheir own talisman. They must depend on others tointeract with the world, and to carry their object fromplace to place.The Gheist can come from any race, and can take onany manner of personality or disposition. There are afew consistent trends, however. First, the Gheist arefrequently very old, hundreds if not thousands of years,and they tend to cling to the ideas and cultural normsof their time. As such, they can seem a little odd wheninteracting with mortals.Additionally, the incorporeal form of the Gheist can bevery inconvenient, leaving them unable to interact muchwith the physical world.
