Each player takes all Spirit Presence discs and Single-Turn Effect Markers of one color, then chooses a Spirit by taking a Spirit Panel and four Unique Power Cards, which will be their starting hand.

Each player starts on a different Island board, following the Setup instructions on the back of their Spirit Panel to add Presence into one or more lands on their starting board.

Players then flip their Spirit Panels and place all remaining Presence discs onto the dashed circles on their Presence Tracks. The leftmost numbers with solid circles remain uncovered.

Note: Once the game begins, Spirits are not restricted to play only on their starting board.
