For the next lore expansion/update, could you further expand upon Spirits/Demons, similar to the way you did with the Darkin and Vastaya.

For those that are unaware, there is actually a handful of Champions that fall under this classification, these being: Fiddlesticks Evelynn Janna Maokai Nocturne TahmKench

To add further clarification, these champions are referred to as Spirits, Spirit being an umbrella term used for beings that are created from ideas and thought, such as hope or despair. "Demon" falls under Spirit, but is used primarily for entities that subsist off of more negative qualities, such as greed or fear. The main quality all these entities in common, and what seems to be the factor in deciding whether or not they are a "Spirit" is that they "feed" or more neutrally stated, subsist, off of ideas, such as the ones stated above. Overall, all these champions take more neutral positions within the world of Runeterra, when compared to other champions.

Expanding upon this, there are two more things that further help explain the nature of Spirits, and where the come from. Within Shen's and Lee Sin's lores, they are references to the "Spirit Realm" which, from Shen's lore, appears to be another realm of existence that overlaps and/or parallels Runeterra, similar to how the Void does. Also, a Spirits level of power stems from how they get their sustenance, and what it is that they subsist on. Janna, for example, power comes from hope, and recieves it through prayers and belief, while others take their sustenance through more active, tangible forms, like Evelynn and her quite literally killing people and feeding off their desire/fear.

Personally, I'd suggest creating a new title for them, rather than Spirit, as it could easily confuse people, thinking it means some form of undead. That being said, the reason I didn't include champions in the list such as Kalista and Thresh, is that there is clear seperation between them and the ones I listed. The ones I listed were created in some shape or form, where Kalista and Thresh, and most other Shadow Isle champions, aren't Spirits, they weren't created, but rather they're just the dead brought back to life, the unliving. I also didn't include champions such as Kindred or Ornn is because they appear to be more tangible, having more stability, and aren't as concerned about "feeding" such as those I've listed as Spirits.

A few other champions that could be included as Spirits with further expansion could be: Malphite He's in need of a lore update, and this would be an easy way to reintrdouce him to the current lore Zyra Similar to Malphite, she's also in need of a lore update

Maybe they will do it after the Ryze lore event and a Flerjord lore update
