Soul Sculpting

Utility

A magical procedure that intertwines the miasma of a living body with the physiological effects of an animal's special ability. The purpose is to grant additional innate abilities to the recipient like unaided flight, invisible claws, gliding speed or restoration of a lost limb.

Ethereal flesh laced itself through the skeletal hand. Where muscle fibres and ligaments wove like thread through a loom and a silver skin simmered over the faux hand.

Manufacturing

The canvas I paint is upon your own soul. It is an more malleable than people think.

— Sculptor to an acceptee

Two people are involved in the process: the sculptor and the sculptee. A deep anatomical familiarity is required of the sculptor for whatever skill transference is requested.
The specifics are not clearly known, but it has been observed that a dull silver-like scalpel is used to press the flat sides against the sculptee in order to "mold the camay around you like clay"

Social Impact

Nuna Runa

Soul sculptors are rare and hold a prestigious position in Runa society.
In spite of the obvious military advantage in granting extra corporeal abilities to the majority of their population; as during Nuna Ruruchina. This power is now mostly limited to the very elite of the Ghost People.

It is believed by everyone in the Four Corners, that soul sculpting is the only meaningful countermeasure to the camay of the Innoit's Terrestrial Army.

Children Technologies

• Organ Stitching

Access & Availability

The caster must have detailed knowledge of the desired anatomy so as to reshape the soul into a mini avatar of the real thing.

Complexity

The procedure carves the will of the caster onto the recipient's normal human soul outline. Some sculptings would need to be occasionally rebound due to higher complexity or lesser work.
