Life difficulties of a spiritual creature.

After extensive deliberation on this world's styles and fashions, Lilian finally decided on her looks. Being a spiritual creature, she could change her amorphous appearance at will, lacking only the ability to take physical form. Since she was accompanying a twelve-year-old boy, she leaned toward wearing a midi-length maxi dress (which would be easy for her to move around in), opting instead for an updo and refreshed makeup. Otherwise, she looked like a ghost; which is what she actually is, but she didn't appreciate that comparison.

- Uh, still see-through – she said, checking herself in a new look. – Do you think there's a chance to get rid of this 'ghostly' appearance?

- Perhaps. When we begin our training, we'll see, - the weary youngster responded. – Anyway, if you've made up your mind, may we finally get started with our discussion, Miss?

- Cut the attitude, young man. - she replied, - You have no idea how much importance women place on appearances. For some of us, it's more of a weapon than just a look.

- Oh, I had no idea your magical abilities were based on what you're wearing, Miss Lilian. If I'd known that earlier, I would have brought more fashion magazines with me, - the quick-talking Satis was genuinely mesmerized.

- Ahem, I didn't mean that we can actually attack by changing outfits, but I've got a killer mood right now. – she giggles looking at the disappointed boy's face. – Fine, I guess you're too small to understand a woman, we'll come back to this topic later. Now, start your questionnaire & let us be done with it already.

- Thank you! – said the enthusiastic Satis as he brought a pen and paper closer. – Let's start with your advantages. Being a spiritual creature, you have the benefits of an amorphic being. You can walk through any physical object unless there is some sort of magical barrier to it. You can change your appearance at will, change in size, or split yourself into multiple objects. There are countless things you can do with your phantom body but turning it into physical form is not one of them.

- Hmm. Does this mean I can levitate like a ghost in the air? – she jumps up to test her words out and with an effort stays in the air. – Oh! That's nice. Now, how do I move when floating in this position? – She tries to walk but her body doesn't budge an inch. A few more attempts are made before she opts to push herself through the air as if swimming. It sort of reminds you of anti-gravity, where you try to do something but still end up struggling without any movement. Lilian continues to charge ahead, wiggling her hands, body, and legs and she throws a stern glance at the giggling Satis as she gasps for air. - You find it funny, ha? Laughing at your own familiar, are we? Is this how our relationship is going to be? – noticing that her blackmailing doesn't bring a single effect – Ah, come on, come here and help an old lady new to this ghostly world.

- Coming, coming. - Satis helps Lilian to stand up and replies, still giggling - I guess you will need some training before you can use your ghostlike body. Then, how about your cosmic powers? You are supposed to have telekinetic abilities and have access to a mathematical knowledge of the universe with the ability to calculate past & future probabilities of the universe at its different locations.

- Dude, you lost me on 'cosmic powers.' Explain slower and more clearly. – After numerous tries to sit down in the chair and falling right through it, completely clueless Lilian finally gave up and sat on the floor.

- Okay. I'll go through the basic structure and most aspects of this universe in general. As you know, we are on a planet called Silvius. There are six types of creatures in this world that differ from each other based on their core element: fire species like Prof. Tenebris Noir; water species like myself; or spirit species like you. I earlier explained that as a spirit specie, you have the ability to utilize amorphic powers, or what you called "ghostly power."

- That I've got. What about the rest of the stuff? And you mentioned three species, but what are the others? – she said as if she didn't care while thinking to herself, "I already know all of this. However, knowing and controlling your abilities are two different things. Maybe I could at least make a chair out of me; the damn floor is so uncomfortable."

- Yes, all spiritual creatures have a specific ability to know everything about the present state of planets, galaxies, and universes as part of their access to the cosmic force. This allows them to also calculate probabilities and chances of past and future events within the cosmos. That is why after I showed you the location of our planet, you were able to easily remember where it was in relation to your previous life's planet.

- Ah, now I understand. No wonder I thought I got super smart after death - Lilian responds to Satis as now being invested in making a chair from the separated piece of herself.

- Also - Satis continued speaking, ignoring Lilian's behavior - you should be able to harness some telekinetic power. Some spirit species can even control other people's minds, wills, or emotions to varying degrees. The strength of any of these powers is linked to the level of connection between the summoner and their familiar.
