We're almost there.

*As you scan you begin to see a large writhing mass of black, purple, and red coming from a single point of a bear shaped silhouette*

@Vacare

Lily: Looks like it's up ahead! And it's teeming with the black stuff!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Well we're almost there anyway, let's continue up this path and see what we can see.

*I continue to walk towards the Bear's direction*

@Vacare

Lily: *Continues scanning, looking for traps*
-About how far away is it? I don’t want to run into any surprises.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Might work. But if it doesn't we'll have to fight with whatever we have.

@Vacare

That's why we need to come up with a strategy beforehand. And account for everything that could go wrong.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

If you or Lily can help with that it'd be great. But that still poses the problem of this black substance being everywhere. Just being near it makes me feel slightly weaker.

@Vacare

...
*Raises an eyebrow and side-eyes Lily*
Lily: No, I can't do anything about it!
-But—
Lily: No!
-*Sighs*
Maybe we could blow up the cave system instead? Collapse it on top of the bear to kill it?

Sorry for my world those two are interchangeable. But you get what I mean? That bear's soul or spirit has been warped to the point where even its physical self has changed into something vile and contorted. It can be reversed, but it's dangerous and foolish.

@Vacare

Yeah, I get what you mean now. We could try purifying and reversing the process.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Errr... When I think spirit it's your metaphysical self. It is your "being" so to speak... Your heart... Your Soul... That's what I mean when I say spirit.

@Vacare

Soul, got it. Souls are something I know.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

How do I explain this... You yourself have a spirit, I have a spirit, everything alive around us has a spirit. But the bear's spirit has been warped causing it to change wildly. Does that make sense?

@Vacare

I guess so, but when I think "spirit," it's much different than whatever spiritual reserves I have.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

The spirit is the Bear's spirit. It's been corrupted by magic. It's not an easy fix.

@Vacare

The bear is a spirit and a physical thing?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Honestly, I would try to purge it myself. But I've determined that it would probably drain me of my strength before I finish my spells. I know a few druidic and shamanistic practices.

@Vacare

Is the spirit inside the bear itself?
