Its flickering form often appears in the peripheral vision of its victims, only to disappear in an instant. Its wailing moans are heard in the distance, only to fade into a howling wind. The  specter  torments its mourning victims in their darkest moments, waiting for true despair and misery to take hold of them. Only then, in their darkest pit of suffering, does the  specter  finish the job and devour them. \n'b' The mournful apparition is a spirit created from deep sadness of an individual, such as a lover who loses their true love, or the mourning of a mass of people, such as when a kingdom loses a beloved ruler. In either case, the mournful apparition takes the form of the person being mourned. The  specter  uses this form to  attack  its mourners, massacring those who are already suffering greatly from their loss and sullying the memory of someone beloved.'
