Pneumaology
The Study of Pneuma, Pneuma is the vital spirit or soul of an entity.
Originating with Dr. Baldur Fleischhacker's Universal Properties Theory, which was an expansion on the initial Gyro-Varse Theory by Dr. Sam Grant, wherein Fleischhacker theorized that the universe is broken into difference dimensions which hold various planes of existence.
According to the current knowledge of Pneuma, there is a verse called the Trencoverse , which all souls are attached to through a type of ethereal fiber that acts as a type of highway, moving the soul to and from the Trencoverse, called the Trencoupention (Tren-coupen-tion).
Soul
Shin
Shinmanaokimagi (Shin-man-a-o-kim-agi), often shorted to Shin, alternatively called Kioap (Ki-o-ap), is a form of energy that rests within an unexplored spiritual plane known as Trencoverse. It's been discovered that every living entity in the universe, from plants to animals, all have their own unique Shin seems to coat their Trencoupention.
Often mistaken for the center of life, or the soul itself, Shin is actually a protective layer, similar to a shell, of the soul, keeping it nourished and protected. One of the things it protects the soul from are Pryacelsius, with which it holds a mutualistic symbiotic relationship. While Pryacelsius are constantly eating away at one's Shin, it is through this constant gnawing that a Shin doesn't become thick and heavy, as well as absorbing dead Pryacelsius to strengthen and give to the Soul.
Occasionally, for a variety of possible reasons, a soul will gain two or more Shin, if these manage to properly merge, they will manifest in the physical world that the soul is tied to. Unfortunately if the merging of Shins is not compatible, the soul will be devoured by them and killed. It is through this devouring that a Soul leaves behind an Echoe. The manifestations of a properly merged Shin with another has been broken into two trees; Hoan (Ho-an) and Dlua (D-lua). These two are often referred to as Magi, which is just another shortened synonym for Shinmanaokimagi, however it's often used to specifically refer to the Shin's physical world manifestation.
Magi was originally gained through the use of the Theósastrikíseikónas, and then through the use of Pneumaetic Manipulation (Manipulation of the soul), which caused genetic mutations, there are various other ways of gaining access to Magi, however all ways are extremely dangerous to attempt, as they can have extreme consequences.
