To piece together a new soul from fragments required first establishing a "soul core."

Just like living creatures, a soul necessarily had a core. The more powerful the creature, the more pronounced the soul core's role became. It governed the creature's various abilities and innate dispositions.

When chatting in the player group, those who did research often loved to shoot the breeze. Whenever they proposed projects and persuaded their superiors to invest, they repeatedly emphasized the most important and critical difficulties: things
