Spirit (Dark Souls)

Spirits are a gameplay mechanic in Dark Souls.

General Information
Spirits are glimpses of other players in other worlds, briefly showing what that player was doing. They can not be interacted with in any meaningful sense, and disappear after just a few seconds.

There are two ways for spirits to appear in the player's world.
 * Spirits may sometimes appear at random anywhere in the world
 * Spirits will appear when activating Bloodstains and enact the events leading up to their death

Appearance
Spirits appear as transparent light blue hollowed figures. They do not wear any armor and do not directly show what equipment that player was wearing. Instead what weapons they carry represent what class of weapon they actually have. Quivers and Blot Quivers can also be seen if they are equipped. Spirits also ignore the aspects of character creation, and all use the Average body type, while all males are represented with the Receding hairstyle, and all females are represented with the Ponytail A hairstyle.

While most of the time a spirit's appearance is left vague and undefined, their true form can be seen when they approach within range of a Bonfire.

Weapons
The below is a list of which weapons represent each weapon class:
