Flames:
Flame of Righteousness : the evil deeds you have witnessed make your heart burn with anger. You stand for the weak and oppressed and use their emotions to fuel your ghostly blue flames of righteousness
Flame of Malice : there is a joy like no other in taking the evil path. No deeds to unpleasant and no unspeakable crimes you won’t commit. Your very being craves to do evil and the poor souls in your ghostly green flame fuel it to burn even brighter.
Flame of Repentance :you have turned away from your days of war and only wish to find peace. Your eyes burn dim as you feel the sorry and regret of the people you meet. The ghostly purple flame dances as you watch the sunken faces of both good and evil, two side of the same coin
