Kandra are created through the use of Hemalurgy. By giving a pair of hemalurgic metal spikes (referred to by the kandra as "blessings") to a mistwraith, it is granted sentience and all the powers of a kandra.
Relation To Mistwraiths
As stated previously, Kandra are mistwraiths altered by hemalurgy and given sentience. Despite the phsyical similarities, and indeed origins as a mistwraith, Kandra are considered a seperate species entirely.
Abilities
Kandra have the ability to shapeshift. However, they only have the ability to change into and take the appearance of any creature they have digested. Because of this, in order for a Kandra to appear as anyone in particular, the subject must be killed and digested.
Especially skilled Kandra are able to make their own adjustments to the shape of the creature they are taking.
Kandra are also unmatched actors. Before assuming the role of a certain person, a Kandra will spend a significant amount of time observing the individual in order to learn their mannerisms. Because of this, it is almost impossible to tell a Kandra from the actual individual they are impersonating. However unless tasked to impersonate
Because of their ability to change shape, most damage to a Kandra is of no consequence. One notable exception to this is being bathed in acid.
Kandra also live exceptionally long lives, but are not immortal.
