• Kami are divine, sentient incarnations of celestial principles or natural forces. They possess immense will and purpose. Some were born from the creators; others ascended through legend and worship.
• Spirits (including Yokai) are more primal, wild, or subconscious manifestations of emotion, fear, nature, or memory. They may become Kami through worship or transformation, but most remain unstable or whimsical forces.

Kami guide, guard, and shape the world. Spirits flow through it like wind, shadow, and dream.
