Dimensional Descent

Aina took out what looked like a polished jade. It was completely flat and it had an oval shape to it. From some angles, it looked quite milky as the light reflected off of it, at others it looked like a pearly white, and at others it gave off the subtlest pale jade color.

Leonel could tell immediately that there was something inscribed within it, but he let Aina sink her mind into it first.

Several hours later, she came back up with a frown on her delicate brow.

"It's a technique called [Soul Reincarnation]. It feels like a very high level Spiritual technique, but humans shouldn't be able to execute it, unless..."

"Unless they have Soul Clairvoyance?" Leonel guessed.

Aina smiled and tossed the technique at him. He unceremoniously took a look at it as well, but unlike Aina, it only took him a few minutes to go through all of it.

When he pulled his mind out, he too had a frown on his face.

"Show off," Aina scoffed, causing him to laugh.

The technique allowed one to do exactly as it said, reincarnate the soul and return to a weaker state. But it was also highly dangerous.
