Wroda

Visual Description
Wroda have no physical form of their own outside of the Under Realm, and must attach themselves to a physical object, however, when in the Under Realm they have been said to look like shadows of malnourished children with hunched backs and yellow glowing eyes.

Known Abilities
All Wroda have the innate ability to affect the emotions and mental wellbeing of those in their proximity, with its effectiveness increasing with exposure time. Additionally the strength of this aura can be affected by the sentimental value of the object it has attached to.

The aura itself most frequently affects only a single mental aspect and can be blocked by thick materials, such as walls.

Typical Behaviours
Wroda themselves are unable to feel any emotion, move, or control if and when they emit their aura.

Their aura radiates from them at a steady rate, only increasing its range the longer it is left untouched. The owner who originally held sentimental value for the object will be subconsciously drawn to where the object if exposed to the aura.

Auras emitted by lost/abandoned Wroda are typically negative in nature, i.e. confusion, irritation, anger, forgetfulness. Artificially made Wrodas created by rituals can have specific auras tied to them, such as calmness, although it isn’t guaranteed.

Although rare, an aura can become so potent over time that it can override an individual’s ability to think about anything but the aura type permanently.

Reproduction / Creation
Wroda attach themselves to Astorian-made objects which have sentimental value that have been lost or abandoned for a long period of time, usually around 2 Astorian years.

A ritual composed of multiple non-lost, but powerfully sentimental objects to the ritual caster arranged around a central object can be used to draw a Wroda into the central object.

Weaknesses
Based on the object the Wroda is attached to, the Wroda cannot be removed, rather the object must be destroyed to banish them.

Trivia

 * Some cases have been recorded where affected individuals have turned to worshiping the Wroda and defending them from being destroyed. Rarely this has created cults.
