I do have a question regarding the spectral type -- are we limited to the unsettling/spooky as a base type or can we pick from other mythological humanoids so long as we lean into the unsettling parts of the mythos for our traits? As an example, I wanted to pick from some standard British supernatural beings for King Arthur here; if I picked 'fae' as the inspiration with traits such as "iron sensitivity" and "the desire to steal children", and something about giving a name to them and having it give some measure of control? If not, that's alright, I just wanted to know what the limits were of your vision!	Oh yes, you're more than welcome to draw on inspiration from less inherently-spooky mythological humanoids. Your examples there sound great- totally fitting for a Spectral-type. Spectrals, as a whole, have a reputation for being unpleasantly menacing- and that might influence how NPCs (and potentially other characters, if they also buy into that reputation) treat them. A bit more wariness levied in their direction- even before the character has done anything to warrant it! Sort of like the prejudice Golem-types will face, in being dehumanized. But that doesn't mean that every Spectral has to be a child-eating monster. The far more benign child-stealing variety are just as welcomed. c: Short recap: yes go for it!
