Spiritualist

Spiritualists are cultivators who grasp spiritual runes. The path of a spiritualist requires cultivators to cultivate their mental and soul energy as higher grade runes require higher amounts of mental and soul energy. Spiritualists can also be divided into different branches, such as alchemists.

Origin of Spiritual Runes
Spiritual runes originated from divine runes which originated from dao runes. Their creation was due to the fact that the talent needed to master dao runes was too high so the dao runes' legacy was lost. Thus, the divine runes, simplified dao runes, were created. But a war that occurred later destroyed most of the divine rune inheritance, which stimulated the creation of spiritual runes due to the fact they were easier to grasp.

Types of Spiritual Runes
There are three types of spiritual runes: alchemy runes, array runes, and artifact forging runes. Spiritual runes are further divided into elementary and graded spiritual runes, being ranked from first to ninth. Inscribing a spiritual rune requires mental or soul energy.

Spiritual runes can also be used to attack as well as create puppets.

First grade spiritual runes comprise of hundreds of elementary runes. Grade three spiritual runes require the inscriber to convert their mental energy into soul energy.

Divine Ability
A divine ability is similar to that of a martial technique but utilizes spiritual runes. They are divided into lesser, greater, and supreme. Even the weakest divine ability in the hands of a lesser Yin stage cultivator can heavily injure a Yang stage cultivator.

Spiritualist Rank
A spiritualist's rank is determined by the highest grade of spiritual rune they can inscribe. Usually, they need to have grasped at least two to three of that grade's spiritual runes before they can be considered that rank. For example, a spiritualist who can inscribe two to three third grade spiritual runes can barely be considered a third grade spiritualist.

A grade three spiritualist is only considered the entry for spiritualists. The first grade three spiritual rune is considered a ritual for spiritualists and can determine the quality of their soul mark. The higher quality the rune is, the higher quality the soul mark.

To become a grade three spiritualist, one needs to open up their profound palace and convert their mental energy into soul energy. They can then inscribe a soul mark into their palace. The stronger the soul mark is, the more powerful the spiritualist. A spiritualist can only attempt three times to become a grade three spiritualist before they can never advance.

A grade four spiritualist is comparable to a Heavenly Soul Realm cultivator.
