The Dium are beings that reside within the Still Realm. Dium are also referred to as Spirits and are the manifestation of the natural processes that occur within the Changing Realm. Spirits also can, effortlessly, traverse through the veil between the realms.
Dium's abilities to manipulate the way the Changing Realm is often sought out by mortals who are desperate to change their own circumstances, because of this, Dium often hunt the poor, fallow, and desperate of humanity to make pacts with them. It is through these pacts that the Dium can loan their abilities to mortals, in exchange for something they may want out of humanity. Through these pacts, humanity gains access to "magic" by being able to manipulate these natural forces and spirits can fulfill their own desires by tagging along with their respective human.
Wolvin are large, wolf-like creatures that possess thick, sharp hairs. Their fur color is usually monochromic, ranging from white to black with very little to no actual color in their fur. Their bodies are often larger than regular wolves, rivaling that of horses in the Changing Realm. However, they are also the most tactically minded and do not attack unless hungry or provoked.
Those who make pacts with the Wolvin are granted the unique ability to manipulation temperatures. Making water freeze, or boiling flesh with a touch at the cost of their own body temperature. This could leave the person freezing or burning after use of the magic.
Shadowcats are large cat-like creatures, resembling large sabertoothed black panthers with glowing golden eyes. However, their bodies are considerably more liquid in nature, able to become completely invisible in dark rooms and molding into shadows to become untouchable.
Those who make deals with the shadowcats are often granted control over light and shadows such as the ability to create illusions, form hard light, or hide themselves in darkness at the cost of potential temporary or permanent blindness.
Phoenix are small bird like spirits who feathers are black and crumbly, unable to be touched without it turning to dust within seconds. They are also fire-breathing birds and are known to be quick to anger and attack.
Those who make pacts with the phoenix spirits often gain power over fire and explosions, able to manipulate the air itself to become more combustive or to manipulation which way an explosion may occur at the detriment of their own energy, leaving users tired and lethargic.

Basic Information
Anatomy
Spirits do not possess the same organic and metabolic structures like humans, in fact, it is highly suspected by many that their forms in the Changing World are merely an illusion to assist humanity in both the role and understanding of a Dium. It has been discovered that cuts, stabs, and even shots in major organs which would normally kill an animal, do not stop a Dium from attacking. However, it has been discovered that certain metals such as gold and silver seems to bring pain to the Dium, and as such, humanity has utilized these metals to their full advantage by the modern day.
Behaviour
Dium are animalistic in nature, though most are able to surpress that nature to converse with mortals of the Changing Realm.
Additional Information
Symbiotic and Parasitic organisms
To most of humanity, Dium are viewed with a mixture of awe and fear. These are creatures that lurk and seek out those who are desperate and wanting to give them powers that are beyond the comphrension of most people. Dium seek these people to fulfill their own needs, and are not afraid to grant these abilities because their uncaring nature towards all of humanity, and because they understand that the magic possessed by humanity can be undone and fixed in the grand scheme of time. They view humanity as fun, yet simple creatures and their wants and desires as limited to their long, eternal lifespans.
