Ectoplasm
Since the incident Tony has been fully dedicated to developing inventions that are compatible with the new reality of the world of Nintia and her spirits. With a rather bumpy road, finally, Tony has found the perfect formula for Ectoplasma and there are many risks to take into account so he had to devote a lot of research time to this substance so feared as well as demanded. There are very few people who are as crazy as Tony and who dare to make experiments and inventions with soul fragments.
Ectoplasm is a derivative of soul fragments and nowadays almost anyone can access them through the black market and enough money to afford it. This free access has led to endless attempts to create truly dangerous things and weapons that allow demons and evil forces to become even more powerful; under this concern Fred and his allied spirits have found it necessary to apply sustainable ways, that do not affect the well being of the spirits, of these types of technology and be able to reach higher levels of fear.
The effect of Ectoplasm on a spirit is something that never ceases to amaze, upon ingesting it and in a matter of seconds, the spirit will begin to experience great changes. In practical terms a spirit will reach a higher level of fright power as well as their agility and strength will be greatly increased however, in the physical aspect it can be noticed that the colors they emit increase with even more intensity, their aura around them increases in size, which makes them much more intimidating, and they enter a state of total euphoria and hyperactivity, which in some cases can be difficult to control, and that makes it a little difficult for them to communicate with humans in a fluid way.
Despite these risks ectoplasm remains the strongest proposition for Fred and his allies, and has been responsible for a lot of growth in their graveyards. However, the harsh reality is that the side effects are not fully known as well as it has also been noted that it creates some dependency on the part of the spirits (They die for it, ironic...), this is why the spirits keep trying to find and test new alternatives in order to keep moving forward as a society.
Another important reason why the market has been flooded with ectoplasm ,and that almost anyone can access it, is because the pioneer of the substance himself, Tony, has dedicated himself to selling it to anyone who can afford it on the famous black market as well as charging the highest prices since his formula is unmatched and is the best product on the market by far. This sounds quite sinister, and the truth is, but Tony justifies himself (and is quite stubborn about it) that this is for the common good of the allies to fund new technologies and advancements that will give them the edge over the forces of evil.
This is quite a controversial topic as it has brought much more volatility to the dangerous world of Nintia, but in these situations it is difficult to determine who is right and what is best. It is simply the new reality in Nintia.
