I think Kho just made it as another variant of the word 'spyrit' that I've thrown out a few times

Somewhat confusingly, spyrit (totally not just 'spirit' since these sren't ghosts we're talking about...) = elemental = djinni

Or maybe it could refer to the Flicker that is the 'soul' of elementals since they don't have souls and aren't living in the normal sense.

Uh [@Kho] we be too lazy to read context clues so help me explain this ye little shi-
