Classification of ghosts and spirits is complicated, a fact further complicated by the fact that no attempt at comprehensive ghostly cladistics ever spreads very far. Sure, most people could tell you that poltergeists are more physically violent than other ghosts, but anything more than that? No chance.
(This is further complicated by the fact that "poltergeist" is a nonsense term to actual ghosts. They have their own system and, needless to say, it little resembles anything the living come up with.)
There is a cult in San Francisco trying to summon something called a "bridge spirit" and the Teen Titans are pretty sure that doesn't mean a spirit that is connected to a literal bridge. They only have guesses for the cult's purpose, though. The group is surprisingly cagey about their goals.
Despite Vlad's affectation to the contrary, none of the halfas know much about what they are or how they work. They definitely don't expect people to be able to summon them.
#idea tag#dpxdc#ghost cladistics by ghosts have more emphasis on how a spirit is created and their motives#ghost cladistics by humans are all about how a haunting manifests with no thought given to anything else#also none of them know a single thing about halfas#Dan's been full dead since The Incident That Didn't Happen so normal ghost rules apply to him#and halfas are rare enough that occultists don't often try anything with them#why would they when there's historical examples of those types of magic just failing to do anything#Constantine thinks bridge spirits are quackery but the Teen Titans are not asking him they'll handle this on their own thanks
