Spell Card 088


Screenshot No. 088: 天神剣「三魂七魄」

God Sword "Components of Konpaku"
(三魂七魄(three kons and seven hakus) are the components of soul (魂魄; konpaku) in Taoism (道教). Three kons control mental activity (reason), and Seven hakus control physical activity. In Taoism, it is believed that there is a period that the body is controled by only hakus between losing kons and death. That is an unstable state because of lacking the reason, so the seven hakus are hated (七魄忌諱). No one, however, can put off the seven hakus, because they are important components of soul.)
