*Important to note the distinction between a spirit and a soul in this context

Spirit- A resident of the afterlife. The form a soul may take after death, with consciousness and awareness of it's surroundings, its form will appear more tangible and visceral, still somewhat (vaguely) resembling the body of its previous life and retaining memory of its death.

Soul- The components that make up the spirit, appear as small balls of light, which can be dispersed as a gas, like blowing on a dandelion clock. After dispersal, the scattered souls will mingle together to create a new, unique consciousness and inhabit a new body.
