Editing Dufiro (section)

=='''Races of the Dufirosm'''==
The races of the Dufirosm are varied and change often.  What is below is a sampling of the major races and transitions among the species.  These are examples of what might be considered major stereotypes. 

There are seven Dufirosm languages used for summoning, bargaining, binding and for magical spells.  These are'''''Vomos''''' or '''''Common''''',   '''''Gorbash''''', '''''Releck''''', *'''''Nethak''''', '''''Halta''''','''''Nona''''', '''''Kolbashic'''''.

==='''Elementals'''===

Elementals live in realms of purish energy with little or simple intelligence.  From animal to low human intelligence.  They gain intelligence and advancement to Spirit form by existing for periods under bound service or trading their efforts in their elemental forms.  This is why they are easy to bind.  As they gain separate sentience, away from their elemental power they gain in their abilities.

The children of Dufiro by many different races on occasion gain elemental powers.  If they gain enough power they may transition to the elemental form.

==='''Spasa or Spirits'''===
Officially named Spasa, the term Spirits is the common usage even among Dufiro.

These creatures have gained sufficient awareness to have needs and greeds.  As they advance the experiences that developed them from elementals to spirits gave them passions. These passions are expressed in their differentiation.  They develop singularly for a time but when they develop they may shift to other spirit forms many times before rising to the Avasa Dufirosim.  Spirits often are more obsessed with their singular devotion then Avasa or Masoja are because they have a focus without greed or ambition. [[Commentary on Dufiro]]
