"Spirituum are like robots made of astral energy that is similar to the souls of living beings. But I'm free to do whatever I want. My purpose is to help my Mistress. So everything will be stained in black." |

Description[]
Spirituum are spiritual beings who have always existed, invisible to the human eye due to their poor spiritual powers. A ritual performed by Vira when Creeper Derangea X-12 Virus was unleashed, resulted in Meta-Humans gaining the power to see spirituum on Prime Earth. After that event, spirituum were somehow enslaved and used by exorcists from Holy Eye, a Church located on USA to enact magical effects. They can exist in both human and non-human form. Likewise, they are regarded by exorcists to be without ego, mere tools.
According to Tohka Yatogami, who is a Superior Spirits, a spirituum's true name holds a special meaning toward themselves and is not something to be told lightly to others, except to the their vessels. When it is told to those other than vessels, true names can mean both "an unbreakable trust" and a "love confession".
Trivia[]
- The word "Spirituum" is Semitic for "angel" or "spirit", originating in Latin before spreading to other languages.
