 * Subverted in that you can loosen your debt through divine favor.
 * Demonic Possession
 * Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Spiritism is largely forgotten in Europe since the early 20th century, but retains a huge number of followers in Latin America, especially Brazil.
 * Ghost Amnesia: Recently deceased spirits are described as being often oblivious of the fact that they died.
 * Karma
 * Reincarnation
 * Spirit Advisor
 * Superpower Lottery: Various abilities under the umbrella of "mediumship". moving objects, seeing spirits, talking to them, healing, and so on.
 * Stronger With Age: Spirits keep evolving in apparently every aspect, most notably morality and knowledge.
 * Values Dissonance: Lampshaded and Justified. Specifically, there is the evolution of moral values such as altruism, generosity and equality, which is the result of people reincarnating repeatedly and getting better en masse.
 * You Cannot Grasp the True Form: The senses (vision, etc.) of Earthly people are described as less sophisticated versions of the spirits' senses.
