>Crack open the Aiwass tome.
When in doubt, turn to books. They've been your truest companion throughout your formative years; books haven't failed you yet.
Thus resolved, you dig out the keyring, momentarily fiddling with the miniaturized book before popping it free. To your surprise, it expands to its previous mass and volume in seconds, promptly slipping from your grasp and slamming into your foot.
Swearing under your breath, you nurse your injured toes, then turn to glance at your grandfather's book… which has conveniently opened itself up to the chapter on Sins.
Uh. Alright then.
<span class="mu-i">Sins are the lifeblood of Remnants–but more than that, they represent the greatest desires and obsessions of the soul within. It should be of little surprise that most Remnants are spawned from deaths of remarkable swiftness or brutality, as there is little opportunity for the victim to come to terms with the nature of their demise. Rendered vulnerable, the lost soul becomes susceptible to their regrets, rejecting the opportunity to pass on in favor of lingering on this plane.</span>
Fascinating, but not terribly useful. You flip through half a dozen more pages before coming across a hand-drawn table inked into the paper.
<span class="mu-s">Classification of the Capital Vices.</span>
Now we're talking.
<span class="mu-i">In accordance with the commonly taught Catholic canon, we can organize Sin under the following seven categories: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride. Though other methods of categorization exist, the average Purifier will find this list to be the most applicable in their combative endeavors.</span>
Skimming through the list, you're frustrated to discover it's rather sparse on details; evidently, your grandfather expected any potential readers to already have background knowledge on "something so basic."
Well, sorry to disappoint, gramps! You're not a Purifier, and the nearest expert is currently out of commission–not to mention the fact that he'd probably be obligated to destroy the book and take you out with it, based on the restricted access warning stamped within.
