They may be regarded as independent spirits, fragments of the magicians subconcious, or the egregores of various species of life form, according to taste and belief structure.
Servitors, Egregores, Thought-forms, personal demons, artificial elementals, all such creatures are astral in nature and exist on astral levels. Dragons; Gods; Angels, these beings are Aethyric in nature because they are primarily spiritual.
They fulfill the duty of an "egregore", a term derived from the Greek word for "watcher".This term usually refers to the autonomous psychic residue of a group mind. Such an egregore bespeaks a yet to be heard wisdom.
The fact that many are working together for the same end ensures a tremendous focus of power in a given direction. There develops a group "egregore", or group soul/mind, which unites the members in very subtle and potent ways.
