What are the different kinds of spirits in this cosmology?

In (my) Nephilim cosmology, there are a few different types of spirits contrasting the Immortals and their Paredri. The three broad categories are:

Summoned Beings are spirits called by Summoning from the astral plane and other planes within the magic fields that seem linked to the collective unconscious. Unlike Elemental Beasts, and like humans, they operate on seeming intelligence rather than instinct. They assume countless forms, including those resembling animals. Summoners argue over whether summoned beings naturally live on some other plane, are conjured into existence by the summoner's will and imagination from the personal or collective unconscious, or if there's even a difference.

Elemental Beasts are to the Immortals what mortal animals are to mortal humans. As with mortal animals, Elemental Beasts operate on instinct rather than humanlike intelligence. They typically have a single Ka-element, sometimes two, but rarely more. All Beasts have a defining Personality Trait, which must be present in an environment before they can spontaneously generate or be deliberately conjured. Both Sorcery and Summoning may be used to bind them, but they can only generate or be conjured from sufficiently powerful concentrations of Ka like natural or magical phenomena.

The Deceased are the lingering spirits of mortals, tied to their corpses. Selenim may perceive them via the Tenebrae and contact them with Necromancy. The corpse retains residual Solar-Ka that decays over time, until the spirit becomes unreachable save to the Third Circle. Their overall power is based on their Solar-Ka and the Torment of their condition, with the most powerful being able to project themselves as Ghosts who can visit mementos of their life and even travel the astral plane!

In addition to this, there are a few subcategories or liminal categories:

Black Summons are Elemental Beasts of the Black Moon, called by the Selenim's Black Summoning. Unlike the chromatic Beasts, Conjurers may conjure them from anywhere the Black Moon Field is even weakly present by playing a musical tune with the correct emotional ambiance. They generally operate on programming rather than intelligence, but a rare few appear genuinely intelligent and act on their own initiative. They can be found roaming the nightmare realms in the lower astral plane, and rarely find their way to Earth without being summoned.

Imagoes are created by the Selenim's Anamorphosis. Unlike Elemental Beasts, they are intelligent and may hold conversations with their creator. Sufficiently powerful Imagoes may even take on a life of their own, and some of the more intelligent and powerful summons may be these independent Imagoes.

Dragons are Elemental Beasts composed of all five Ka-elements, like the Nephilim's Paredri. Little is known about them beyond myths and legends, though both Strength and The Devil describe them as manifestations of primordial chaos. They are associated with unusual magical places known as the Dragon's Gates. Nephilim generally don't like to think about the implications of Dragons and Paredri being the only types of elementals with five Ka-elements...

Necrophages are a very rare and dangerous type of Ghost. Normally Ghosts are limited to half the Solar-Ka they had in life which then decreases over time until they're gone for good, but Necrophages are able to increase theirs and their resulting power by predating on other ghosts! They only get more terrifying from there. All of the known ones are believed to have been extinguished by the Unnamed Arcanum centuries ago, but you never know...

In third edition, different spirits had different Characteristics. Summoned beings had Contract, Black Summons had BMK, Ghosts had Solar-Ka plus Torment, Elementals had Powerful... to simplify all that, I'm taking inspiration from 5e and assigning all spirits a universal "Menacing" Characteristic. This is used to determine their overall power level and capacity to inflict and resist magical attacks. The most powerful are beyond game statistics!

What are the decans?

Image
In astrology, the zodiac signs  are ruled by particular planets  and divided into  three decans per sign  as shown on the figure below:  In the French 3e supplement  Codex des Ar-Kaïm , the concept of Decans is introduced as an additional way to define a character's personality. Each House has its own emotional nature, further modified by the character's Decan. All Houses have three Decans, except for Serpentarius that has none. In other words, the combination of House and Decan serves a similar role to the Nephilim's Metamorphosis. In the US version, this would be represented by BRP's Passions (or Personality Traits as they're labeled in Chronicle of the Awakenings ). I'm still trying to figure out how to integrate Passions into the Ar-Kaïm rules, as Ar-Kaïm lack metamorphoses but the concept overlaps heavily with the Essences mechanic (i.e. their magic points). Ar-Kaïm display environmental manifestations as a result of their Essence values and ...

"Reverie" as a new degeneration for Ar-Kaïm?

In the character creation for Ar-Kaïm, during the Past step the note determines how much of their mortal life the character remembers. Apprentice means they have total amnesia, Journeyman means they remember only dreams and confuse it with reality, and Master means no memory loss. However, this section contradicts the rest of the book(s): Ar-Kaïm don't suffer any Skill loss and amnesia is never mentioned in their lore. I suspect this text was leftover from an earlier draft as an oversight. It obviously creates problems for roleplaying so I can understand why it was revised. However, the Ar-Kaïm Codex has a short story where the narrator briefly mentions she sometimes has difficulty distinguishing dreams from reality. This inspired me to imagine a new degeneration just for Ar-Kaïm, one I tentatively call "Reverie." Ar-Kaïm have a close bond to the Astral and to the dreams of humanity. The idea behind Reverie is that it represents a loss of control and identity as a result ...

What are the Minor Tablets?

In the third edition Gamemaster's Screen , the Quest for the Cycle of Destiny is introduced. (The fanzine  Vision-Ka  #3  specifies on p41 that this Quest is one and the same as the Arcane Quest of The Magician.) The goal of this quest is to acquire and study the Minor Tablets, crafted by Akhenaton as supplements to the 22 Major Arcana Trumps. The purpose of these Minor Tablets is to help mortals reach Agartha. There are four Minor Arcana  in total: The Wand (Fire), The Cup (Water), The Sword (Air) and The Coin (Earth). Keen-eyed readers may notice that the symbolism of the suits correspond loosely to the traditional magical tools (see Liber Ka p52). By pursuing this quest, the Nephilim is better able to understand their Simulacrum's Solar-Ka: they can boost their chances of Critical Success based on their Solar-Ka, retain player control during Shouit seizures rather than handing control to the GM, and develop Solar Resistance through initiation into a Minor Arcanum...
