Embody is one of the primary thirteen Arcanoi from Wraith: The Oblivion. Those who use Embody can manifest in the physical world and, under the right circumstances, appear as a living person. Embody, while not expressly forbidden, is strictly regulated by the Hierarchy, due to the influence of the Dictum Mortuum. Legally, only Deathlords and high-ranking Hierarchy officials have any right to cross the Shroud. Despite the risk of breaking wraithly law, many wraiths crave the secrets of the Proctors, as being Embodied is the closest thing to being alive a wraith can ever experience.
