Phantoms are NOT Ghosts

Ok, now onto what a Phantom is. When you first saw the word 'Phantom' you probably were thinking of a ghost or sometimes like that. Well actually in my story (Seventeen Phantoms) I changed what a Phantom is, so when I say Phantom, I won't mean a ghost. A Phantom is a creature that looks completely human (except for the fact that they have different colored hair and eyes) and have the ability to teleport between dimensions. (Don't ask how many dimensions there are because there are hundreds and I haven't come up with every single one.) There are a different number of worlds in each dimension and in some cases there are only one world and so they just say name the dimension because the world is unnamed. (For example if the Coral dimension has only one world, then they just say they were in the Coral dimension, but if they were in the Javlik dimension and it had three worlds in it, they would say the name of the world they were in, not the name of the dimension. Get it? If you don't, say so in the comments and I'll explain more.) Though there are some rare cases where they say the dimension's name even though there is more then one world in it. (Like the Twilight dimension, there are three worlds in there and they still say that they're in the Twilight dimension.) Ok, back to Phantoms. There are seventeen types of Phantoms, (hence the name of the book) and each has their own unique power. This is pasted from a word document that I have:

The Seventeen Types of Phantoms
Note: The Phantoms are listed from most common to least common and that order is the same as most powerful to least powerful. All Phantoms have the ability to jump between worlds and dimensions and can also use energy or magic.
  1. Link Phantom- most common of the Phantoms; only have the ability the jump between dimensions and worlds.
  2. Racer Phantom- very common; run pretty fast and doesn't get tired easily.
  3. Rogue Phantom- Pretty common; skilled at fighting, has a good sense of direction, and remembers thing well.
  4. Detector Phantom- sort of common; can tell what species people are and depending on how powerful they are; where they are.
  5. Dawn Phantom- sort of common; skilled with simple magic and learns it quickly.
  6. Tracker Phantom- not very common; Can use magic to find certain creature or power and track it.
  7. Glimpse Phantom- not very common; has the ability to disappear for five minutes at most and moves unseen.
  8. Blaze Phantom- not very common; can see through extremely bright light, doesn’t get hot easy, can touch, and control flames.
  9. Frost Phantom- pretty rare; can stand freezing temperatures, doesn’t get frost bite, and can make frost.
  10. Warrior Phantom- pretty rare; very skilled at fighting, can use almost any weapon.
  11. Cloud Phantom- pretty rare; can float up to twenty feet off the ground and can make a thick mist.
  12. Mage Phantom- rare; Very skilled at magic and masters techniques quickly.
  13. Blink Phantom- rare; can teleport up to two miles in the blink of an eye and is a very fast runner.
  14. Flare Phantom- very rare; good at powerful magic skills and can defeat many enemies quickly.
  15. Swift Phantom- extremely rare; can get into people’s minds (literally) and also uses magic to influence them.
  16. Midnight Phantom- very rare; naturally silent, sneaking and can see perfectly well in the dark. Deadly      with magic and move very fast.
  17. Eclipse Phantom- tremendously rare; has almost all the abilities of the other phantoms and can use very powerful magic. 

You probably noticed that I said energy or magic. In my story, energy and magic are synonyms. I could say: "Jrey used his energy to hide himself in shadows so he wasn't spotted." and I could also say: "Jrey used his magic to hide himself in shadows so he wasn't spotted." Same thing. Savvy? If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask!
