Spirit Orbs

Spoiler Warning: This page contains information on the story of the game.
Spirit orbs (unofficial name) are small, glowing blue lights found hovering over corpses. They are found in every domain and seem to hold the accompanying corpse’s final thoughts before passing. They start as a light blue and become dark blue after being opened.
