=Spirit Bonuses=
Ghosts are the spirits of formerly living mortals who have since passed on to the spirit realm, but refused to retire to the Realm of the Dead, clinging to the memory of their life or unfinished business in the mortal plane. These tragic spirits are often bound to a person, place, or item relating to the unfinished business. Shaman who bind these spirits may be seeking aid from honored elders spirits, or trapping unfortunate mortal souls in eternal servitude. Ghost Shaman gain substantial strength when near places of special significance to ghosts. These 'Hallows' are places where the barrier between Lorithandar, the Spirit Realm, and the Realm of the Dead is thinnest. Most commonly found at cemeteries, ancient battlegrounds, or mass graves these places draw ghosts like moths to a flame.
