Since we'll be able to create objects in the form of energy in this release, such as fire, will it be possible to make entire beings out of types energy? Of course, without aid, a pure being of fire would quickly diminish and die, but if another sort of "etheral" energy or some sort of custom energy were made, a being could exist in such a form. My basic idea ultimately would be a form of ghost race that has very little ability to interact with the "material" world. With great strain they can manipulate some simple objects and such for short periods of time. The main way to interact with these creatures would be through magic, such as fireballs or by more specific banishment spells.
Eventually, it'd be sweet if these form of beings could be incorporated into select normal beings, such that they exist as both in the same place normally until bodily death, at which point, most often both forms perish, but in some cases depending on some attribute, "spiritual strength" or whatever, this form would live on as a ghost surviving off of other latent energies in the world.
Thinking of these things I came up with the idea of a different mode of gameplay, currently there's Zonk's survivor mode and normal. The new mode could be such that after the death of the player, the character's essense overtakes whatever being caused them to die in the case that they die immediately as a direct result of an attack or the closest being within some area of the player if the die slowly from their wounds or from some other cause, starvation or suffocation in later releases. This idea should be able to be done even if my etheral ghost idea isn't yet implementable.
Just some ideas, tell me what you think.
