   Paraphysics
Paraphysics is a pseudoscience that explains a lot about how things work in Totenengel.Here are some basic rules derived from Paraphysics-

The Polyplanar Declaration-

In Creation there are several Realities or "Planes" of Existence. Planes are divided by their Dimensions, which is a measurement of Reality and the ability to move about in it. In this Part of the Mortal Super-Plane, there are 4 dimensions- Length, Width, Depth, and Time. However, we are unable to travel through all of them in this Plane, so it is only 3.5 dimensional units real. The bonafide "4th" dimension inhabitants have the ability to move throughout the course of Time itself. Since this plane only has 3 and a half dimensions of existence, it's difficult to say what's higher up in the Dimensional Scale. However, like mentioned earlier, Planes and Dimensions are different. A plane is simply another form of Existence, while a Dimension is its level of Reality. But as far as perception goes, only a certain race's own plane is Real to it, with the exception of Higher Beings, who can move throughout all of the Planes at any Dimension at will. Also, all of Creation is divided into 4 Super-Planes- Heaven (origin of all existence), The Mortal Plane (Created by the Greater One, home to all Sentient Beings), The Netherworld (Arcane realm created by Demons), and Hell (A place created by the prescence of evil in both Mortals and Demons, also where the spirit goes after being left in Limbo or the Netherworld for too long without Ascending). The reason this isn't studied is because it's too confusing for humans or any other Sentient race to handle.

The Netherworld and the Barriers of Reality

The Netherworld is the most Recently Created Super plane that is, in one word, Chaotic. Since it's forged from Arcane of the Highest Power, it's extremely unstable and all of the dimensions of Reality amalgamated into eachother creating a world that can be shifted just by someone thinking. However, it also has a curious ability to poke holes into the other Planes and seep through, creating holes in the Barriers of Reality, which keep all the planes in order and from Colliding like in the Netherworld. However, Arcane practiced in the Mortal Plane has pieces of the Netherworld ripping through Reality through a Portal that is created with a Pentagram, or a Demonic Seal. In other words, Arcane practiced by Mortals is really taking a piece of the Netherworld into this one and manipulating it at will. An Arcane Portal is easily the simplist form of Arcane Power, since it is the building block of all Arcane ability through taking a piece of the Netherworld. Demonic Arcane however is near infinite since it doesn't take a piece of the Netherworld with them- The Demons themselves are fountains of Arcane. But when a Demon is Summoned from the Netherworld, it tears a bigger hole in Reality than that of a conventional Arcane ability, thus making bigger holes in the Barriers of Reality.

Spiritual Movement Throughout Planes

When a Sentient Being's Soul runs out of life force to feed off of the body to give it Spiritual force, it is forced to leave the body when it dies. When it does, it goes into the highest Dimension in Existence known as the Spirit Plane in which it rests before it either Ascends back into its origin (Heaven) through its ability to open the Gate of Heaven with its purity or Descends into Hell (Also known as the Absolute Darkness, True Death, and the Infernal Plane) after it is unable to Ascend. Ghosts are actually Spirits that seep through the Barriers of Reality and appear Randomly in this Plane, then just as quickly disappear. And since Spirits are on the Highest Dimension of Existence, it's only natural that they can, however limited that may be, control parts of this plane. That explains phenomena such as Poltergeists. However, a Spirit possessing an inanimate object is a Result of a Spirit that didn't, in rare circumstances, go to the Spirit Plane.

Bloody Complicated, no?
