Trivia[]
- This is the first occult powers panel to not be featured on the needs panel.
- This is the only form of occult powers that can co-exist with other occult powers. Vampires, spellcasters, and werewolves can still retain their powers and experience while also level up their ghost mastery when they're a ghost, allowing for the first time official hybridization.
