[Elite Suggestion] Geistlord

Theme/story: after events in HOT and right before events of POF, some necromancers banded together in seeking of lost arts. Necromancers, as master of death and dark magic, have array of spectral abilities, but all of them are very basic (except of Lich Form, but even it isn't as strong as it could be). Some necromancers believed in a legend of old magic, old spectral magic which was so strong that the user could easily walk into underworld and back from it without any problems. Thus, these necromancers searched any leads of this legend, searching through whole world of any knowledge regarding spectral magic, while also performing all sorts of rituals trying to contact spirits from the underworld... until they achieved what they wanted. However, what they found was terrifying to even most veteran necromancers - power to turn them into ghosts and abandon life altogether.This new type of necromancers was researched and practiced in south-east region of the discovered world, deep underneath the ground in a new temple build by flesh golems for these necromancers to have a place to dedicate their new powers and share their new experience between each other.After events of POF, necromancers of this temple contacted other necromancers, mostly practitioners of reaper's and scourge's arts in attempts to combine all three of these schools of necromancy into one single supreme advanced form of necromancy. However, it didn't work as all three crafts didn't blend together, but in the aftermath of this the world learned about new school of necromancy and it slowly gain more popularity among new necromancers - Geistlord, a necromancy laid not in the line between life and death, but directly after those.Essentially Geistlord is a necromancy who technically died, went to underworld, managed to return back to the world of the living as a ghost and then possessed their own body turning into semi-undead. Though, they can revert back into living beings and abandon their new spectral powers, but it is even harder than gaining them.If reaper is usually seen as unstoppable horror pursuing its pray, then Geistlord would be seen as creepy ghost which lurks in the dark places inflicting constant feel of dread. While reaper can be seen as big bad guy who doesn't die no matter what you throw at it and continues its pursuit, then Geistlord is that creepy ghost which slowly drives you mad and eventually drags you down.
