Hey! Trying a quick take to port the Spirit Realms advantages/disadvantages to this edition. Some may be emulated by existing ones, by changing their type to Spiritual, but I feel there is a lot to work with and create interesting new ones, both mechanically and thematically.

I haven't expressly classified them as Distinctions/Passions or Adversities/Anxieties as most can easily be tooled either way. I just included some example of checks that trigger the advantage/disadvantage, and these could either give way to re-rolls or cause/remove Strife, depending on how one looks at it.

Chikushudo; Realm of Animals

Touch of Chikushudo: Same as Animal Bond , with Spiritual tag (could become a Distinction)

Cursed by Chikushudo: (Water)
- Animals steer clear of you and generally take a disliking to your mere presence. Dogs bark at your heels and horses refuse to do what you ask them to do
- Checks to interact with animals, such as Survival (Water) to handle them or Medicine (Water) to care for them

Gaki-do; Realm of the Hungry Dead

Touch of Gaki-do: (Fire)
- The influence of the Gaki push you to dealing death and let your enemies perish with the knowledge that they have failed in their task
- Checks to deal a killing blow, such as Martial Arts (Fire) targeting an incapacitated opponent, or to sow despair among your foes such as Performance (Fire) to cause Strife on them

Cursed by Gaki-do: (Earth)
- You crave some earthly substance or experience without ever being satiated. Similar effects as Addiction , with Spiritual tag. Also, Gaki and hungry dead will attack you in priority

Jigoku; Realm of Evil

Touch of Jigoku: (Any)
- The Dark Lord smiles upon you; select a Ring for which you have the Shadowland Taint disadvantage
- Once per scene, you can invert the Taint disadvantage with that Ring without spending a Void Point if thematically appropriate , as you tap into the Taint's power to enhance your abilities

Cursed by Jigoku: (Any)
- You have been marked for corruption; select one Ring: it has a vulnerability to contracting the Shadowland Taint
- Checks to resist otherworldly influence, such as Meditation (Ring) to avoid becoming Tainted when Afflicted or Fitness (Ring) to resist an effect from Maho or Otherworldly adversaries

Maigo no Musha; The Realm of Lost Heroes / Thwarted Destiny

Touch of Maigo no Musha:
- Same as Famously Lucky or Famously Successful , with Spiritual tag instead of Fame

Cursed by Maigo no Musha:
- Same as Perfectionist , with Spiritual tag
- Or same as Haunting , with an ancestor stuck in that realm

Meido; Realm of the Dead

Touch of Meido: (Earth)
- You feel comfortable in the presence of the macabre and are the perfect guest for funerals

Cursed by Meido:

Sakkaku; Realm of Mischief

Touch of Sakkaku: (Air)
- Trickster spirits assist you in your endeavors, and you are all too happy to let them

Cursed by Sakkaku: (Air)

Touch of Tengoku: (Void)
- Heavens smile upon you and protect you from dark influences

Cursed by Tengoku: (Void) or should it be Water?

Toshigoku; Realm of Slaughter

Touch of Toshigoku: (Fire)

Cursed by Toshigoku:
- Same as Ferocity , with Spiritual tag

Yomi; Realm of the Blessed Ancestors

Touch of Yomi: (Any)
- An ancestor is providing guidance to you and watches over you - identity to be determined with the GM (this could also be a good place-holder for the various "Ancestor" advantages from previous editions)

Looks like Emerald Empire does have a Chikushudo-themed adversity... The more of those house rules become obsolete and replaced with official material, the happier I will be !!
