Effects
It allows the user to project their soul out from their body and into the environment. When in use, the person's bodily systems stay active, but higher brain functions, such as imagination, shut down. Those functions are transferred to the person's soul. During the process, the shape of the user's form can sometimes be seen, either from using smoke or water droplets in the air to bend the light in a certain way. This usually gives the soul a ghostly appearance. The only way for the soul to reunite with the body is to either dunk them into cold water or for the soul to willingly return.
