Bloodmancy

Ryu didn't really expect this turn of events. Quite frankly, he had thought that Fading Star would teach him more about manipulating Karma or things of the like since they clearly had this in common. 

Even so, this unexpected twist was actually very much appreciated. If he could find methods of improving his Bloodlines, how could he not jump at the chance? 

He stared at Fading Star seriously as she began to speak, soaking up everything she was saying. 

The first thing Fading Star did was actually change the way he viewed Bloodlines in the first place. He felt like he was a child and she was trying to shift his perspective on things. 

Ryu had already begun to see his Bloodlines more like living, breathing entities, but Fading Star, or rather, Bloodmancers in general seemed to take this even a step further. 

As Ryu listened, he realized what it was she was referring to.

The Seven Corporeal Souls.
