The Five Ways are the routes by which all spirit energy in the cosmos moves. When spirit is transposed, the result and reaction depends on which of the Five Ways was involved. Those who walk the path of the spirit must navigate using one or more of these.

  • The Way of the Aura – Deals with the forces of knowledge and ignorance. One's aura can both reveal and conceal. These spirit arts are used to boost cognition and communication abilities or deprive others of the same.
  • The Way of the Form – Deals with the forces of strength and weakness. The form can be stabilized or sabotaged. These spirit arts can enhance one's physical form or undermine that of another.
  • The Way of the Hand – Deals with the forces of charging and draining. Mortal hands can push or pull; energy can be given or taken. These spirit arts are utilized as instruments of either battle or rejuvenation.
  • The Way of the Step – Deals with the forces of freedom and restraint. Every journey begins with a single step. These spirit arts affect, induce, or prevent movement.
  • The Way of the Voice – Deals with the forces of passion and calm. Words carry power. These spirit arts influence emotion and will, either to incite or to discourage.
