The igaesha is basically a species made up of colorful clouds. They can be found in many colors, though the colors are most often light and pale. Being that they are clouds, physical objects can move through them freely, harmlessly shifting the vapor aside as it passes. They are capable of changing their density to alter their size, expanding or contracting at will. Usually, an igaesha is found in a cluster of others, drifting slowly through the skies, though they are capable of individual movement and action. When separated, they tend to move with more specific direction, as opposed to drifting aimlessly. The igaesha is capable of moving directly through solid objects, though it is not apparent how it does so. They are also capable of altering their composition so that their mass becomes acidic. This is often used when the igaesha has been angered, but there is no change in the appearance of the cloud when it does this, other than an increase in speed and precision of movement when in this state. It seems to be able to do this, and return to normal at will, with no consequences.

The igaesha do not seem to have a society per say, but they do travel together in clusters. When in a cluster, they do not visibly interact at all, and actually seem to lose their individuality for the duration. These clusters as a whole drift slowly through the skies of [[Lorae'tyr]], seemingly unintelligent. It is only when disturbed or separated that the igaesha seems to take on a mind of its own. It has been observed that when a separated igaesha is in the presence of another, the vapors within it will shift and swirl in a noticable pattern, implying that they are capable of communication through visual signals.
In its natural habitat, igaesha flock in clusters with each other, drifting nonchalantly through the skies. They do not interact noticably, rather they relinquish their individuality for the duration. When alone, they tend to move with more deliberate actions, as opposed to drifting aimlessly. It is only when separated or disturbed that each igaesha will take a mind of its own. Individual igaesha will swirl rapidly and become acidic if they feel threatened. It has also been observed that individual igaesha will shift and swirl in patterns when encountering one another, suggesting that they are performing acts of communication.
While in a cluster, the igaesha seem quite docile and unaware of their surroundings, but when separated, they seem able to react and change to their surroundings, and can even be annoyed. When annoyed, the swirling vapors within it seem to increase in their intensity, and it is also at this time that they may become acidic.

The igaesha is a demon archetype which originates from the Lorae'tyr valence. There are ten subtypes: haze, rouk, brume, haar, murk, nyle, mist, smoke, vapor, and fog. They are all classified as a minor demons and can be summoned through the use of Minor Summoning (725).

Physical Description

Igaesha are a species of colorful clouds. They range across the spectrum in color, though most commonly light or pale. Since they are clouds, physical objects move through them freely, displacing the vapor as it passes through. They can alter their own density to adjust their size, expanding or contracting at will. They can also alter their chemical composition to become acidic. This can be used as a form of defense, or possibly digestion. There is no change to the appearance of their form itself, though an increase in speed and precision of movement has been observed while in this state. There is no mechanical difference between sub-types of igaesha, only a difference in the consistancy of the cloud type.

Society and Behavior

In its natural habitat, igaesha flock in clusters with each other, drifting nonchalantly through the skies. They do not interact noticably, rather they relinquish their individuality for the duration. When alone, they tend to move with more deliberate actions, as opposed to drifting aimlessly. It is only when separated or disturbed that each igaesha will take a mind of its own. Individual igaesha will swirl rapidly and become acidic if they feel threatened. It has also been observed that individual igaesha will shift and swirl in patterns when encountering one another, suggesting that they are performing acts of communication.

Mechanical Benefits and Flaws

Igaesha are worthwhile at sharing mana and have decent mana capacities. They are poor at holding coins, and not particularly fast at finding or scouting. They cannot pick up items directly (not including the eye), but they will accept up to 2 items from their master. Igaesha will eat nearly anything, and can inflict a corrosive acid upon thieves it catches.

STARE/GAZE/SQUINT - You stare at a cloud of pale grey fog. The fog doesn't seem to notice, or, if it does, you can't tell.

The STARE subset works with illusioned Igaesha, but the TOUCH subset does not. Overall, there is little interactivity.
