Blueflame ghost

Blueflame ghosts are spirits which are imprisoned within magic items. Some members of the adventuring group The Nine are among the Blueflame ghosts. The term comes from the magical blue flames that surround the ghosts. At least seven Blueflame ghosts were known to exist and there may be many others.

The owner of the item containing a Blueflame ghost may call the spirit forth and force it to do his bidding which is usually to kill someone.

Larloch created the Blueflame items with the help of the Imprisoners by binding the spirits of three liches to the items. Each of the items possesses its own power when the ghost is imprisoned but the power is dormant when the ghost is outside the item. Part of Mystra's power is bound to the items and The Simbul believes it may be possible to bring Mystra back through the Blueflame items.
