It can happen that body and soul are separated from each other. In this case, the complicated ritual of Reunite Body and Soul is needed in order to put them back together, as otherwise the two can be lost forever.
Description[edit]
For it, the Book of Truth, the Candle of Love, and the Bell of Courage are needed. These three items have to be grouped around the body of the person whose soul is missing. The first step is to read in the book, the next to light the candle, and the third to ring the bell. To complete the ritual, the mantra of Spirituality, OM, has to be chanted.
Taught by Shamino's spirit in Skara Brae and also used on him.
Lore[edit]
“ | Through curse or magic, a spirit can be severed from its body and cast into the void. The Reunite Body and Spirit ritual returns the lost spirit to a living body. The ritual will not raise the dead, as their spirits are bound to another place. To commune with the dead taps a different form of magic that is contained in the Spirit Speak ritual. |

Trivia[edit]
- According to the Bob White plot, this ritual is a late plot addition and was not needed in the original plot, where Shamino just had to be awakened from a special slumber very early in the game.
