Spirits

Spirits (スピリット) are unique items used almost exclusively in the Digimon Frontier series. The twenty Spirits are the remnants of a group of Digimon known as the Ancient Warriors or the Legendary Warrior Ten. Every one of the ten warriors, each of whom represented an element, left behind two spirits, one of the intelligent human (able to be commanded once obtained and signified by an "H" in the card game) and one of the primal beast (requiring self-discipline to use and signified by a "B" in the card game). These spirits contained their powers and could be used by their successors to digivolve into powerful forms (most of whom are classified as Hybrid digimon) though the process of Spirit Evolution. A fusion of both human and beast is also possible through Fusion Evolution (Double Spirit Evolution in the Japanese). The ten spirits of five elements can be used in an even stronger digivolution called Unified Spirit Evolution (or Hyper Spirit Evolution), while all twenty can come together under Ancient Spirit Evolution to become Susanoomon.

In the world of Digimon Frontier, it is possible to lose a Spirit. When a digimon is defeated in battle, a ring of fractal code (digicode in the Japanese version) surrounds the loser. What is noticeable is that a Spirit appears at the foremost of the fractal code; usually it must be taken before the holder can be digitized (or scanned).

It is usually in the Human Hybrid form that the Digidestined of Digimon Frontier are allowed access to their digivices in order to scan and purify their enemies. It should be noted, however, that to remove a Spirit from a digimon does not require one to be in the Human Hybrid form, as Gigasmon is able to steal Zoe Orimoto's Human Spirit of Wind as a Beast Hybrid.

After spending so long with the people who wielded them, the Spirits in Digimon Frontier seem to have taken life. They appear to be patterned off of those who used them, as Kazemon speaks Italian like Zoe does.

When given the Beast Spirit of Darkness, Duskmon was able to digivolve into Velgemon.

Once free of Cherubimon's control, however, Koichi realized that darkness does not equal evil and thus purified the taint from the Spirits of Darkness, revealing the true forms as the Human Loweemon and the Beast JagerLoweemon. These spirits are known as the L and K Spirits of Darkness in the TCG to avoid confusion with the tainted ones. Also associated with the Spirits of Darkness is the fusion of both Human and Beast, Rhihimon, which received a toy release.

The tainted Human Spirit of Darkness looks like Duskmon's armor rearranged to form a two-headed beast, while the Beast Spirit looks like Velgemon with its wings curled around its body.
