Thoughtforms are manmade spirits created from someone’s concentrated energy. Just because they are manmade doesnt make them any weaker, or lesser of a spirit. They tend to be dependant on your energy, and because they are sentient beings, without your energy they could wither away and die. Energy is basically food for them.

Thoughtforms are usually created with a purpose, whether it be a buddy, aide you with magick, astral projection, aide with mental illnesses (they should not replace any therapy or medical attention youre recieving), or fill your loneliness.

There are many different types of thoughtforms, each one is different and unique in their own way.

Servitors- servitors are a type of thoughtform that is created with the energy and a specific purpose. They are more commonly used to serve the creator and fulfill tasks. Servitors are completely customizable, from their looks to their thoughts and personality. They need attention and energy to stay alive

Tulpa- Tulpa are very similar to Servitors, except that they dont really perform tasks. Tulpa are basically imaginary friends, and strictly made from pure thoughts, and little energy. They survive off your attention, and will die if you forget about them.

Egregore- Egregores are quite complex beings, as they are created by a group of people, usually likeminded people. Most often not, these are created intentionally and feed off the energy from the people. It also forms when the same people meet up.

Godforms- Godforms are extremely powerful and have free wills. Usually these start off like basic thoughtforms, from concentrated energy, and will feed off energy given until they are strong enough to sustain on their own. Godforms tend to be more unique and will have their own personality, thoughts, looks, beliefs, set of morals as well as ideals.

Basic Thoughtforms- Basic thoughtforms are the most common to see around. Shops will make these for people. They are similar to Servitors, except their personality develops on their own, and they have a free will. They not only feed off of given energy, but offerings as well.

Thoughtforms can look different, they are all unique, just like people. Most common are Orbs, Animals (or something with animalistic characters), and humanoids.

Orbs are quite simplistic and tend to be a basic color, and have simple tasks to fulfill. They have limited knowledge as well as communication skills. The tasks they are created are simple, like helping with astral projection for example. Because they are simple, they are easy to make.

Animal thoughtforms are more complex, and have more complex tasks. These thoughtforms are extremely loyal to their companion, and will fulfill tasks for attention as well as offerings. Animal thoughtforms have a more broad range of comminication, as well as knowledge, and to have emotions.

Humanoid thoughtforms are the most complex, and need more energy to make. They tend to perform tasks that orbs and animals cannot do, as they are more intelligent. Since they are more intelligent beings, they communicate easier, as well as learn easier than the other two. Since these are more complex thoughtforms, they tend to be harder to take care of and require more energy as well as offerings.
