**Description**: The Impeacher Specter is a malevolent spirit of a once-powerful political figure, eternally bound to haunt those who oppose authority. With a semi-translucent form, it glides through the air, instilling fear and confusion among its foes. Known for sowing discord, this specter uses its spectral influence to manipulate the will of its enemies, creating chaos and distrust. It delights in draining the life force from the weak-minded, growing stronger as it induces despair in the living, employing cunning tactics that exploit both fear and isolation.
