Some spirits embody concepts or ideas, such as War, Death, Pain, Peace, Calm, Protection, etc. Although Epiphlings are easier for Garou to understand than Chimerlings, most Garou are not exactly sure how such spirits fit into the spirit hierarchy or Umbral courts. The Stargazers, who have studied this kind of spirit more than other tribes, suggest that Epiphlings are the spirits of pure thought and platonic ideals made manifest. Some clearly spawn from strong emotions and powerful thoughts in the physical world, while other Epiphlings seem to spring into being deep in the Umbra. Besides learning Gifts from them, Garou often bind Epiphlings into fetishes — especially those that deal with thoughts or emotions. Each Epiphling is a unique spirit, and the Storyteller should create appropriate Traits. Most of these spirits that Garou encounter are Gafflings, but some werewolves have encountered particularly powerful concept-spirits that ranked as Jagglings and, rarely, even Incarna.
