“I…”
Ben began to speak, but paused. He had an idea, but it felt foolish. Dangerous. Playing with Spiritual things could go very, very wrong. Was it really worth considering? But this was Rob. They had to try everything they could to save him. Rob would have done the same for them.
“I might have a way of bringing him back, but I honestly wouldn’t expect it to work. Progression can let you see souls. It can let you fix them, too. If a soul were sliced in half by a shardblade, if I got there in time, I could rejoin the two halves and revive the killed person.”
He mimed pressing his hands together.
“It might be possible for me to separate Rob’s soul from whatever has infested it. Leave only Rob’s soul in his body.”
He pulled his hands apart.
“It would require him to die first, though, so I could access his soul while it is outside of his body. And it’d be risky. I’m not sure if trying to interact with his soul could spread the corruption or if I would damage his soul by forcefully separating it. There might just not be enough left of Rob for it to be possible.”
Ben desperately hoped that last part wasn’t the case, but there wasn’t much use in denying that it was a strong possibility.
“The chances of it working in the first place would be slim, regardless. This isn’t something that has been done before, especially not by a Truthwatcher only at the third oath.”
He frowned for a moment, thinking. Then he turned to James.
”A Bondsmith might be able to help, although this feels like it would technically be breaking a bond more than forming one.”
