When the spiritual power finally gathered to the limit, she stretched focused deeply and her soul body seemed to become ethereal. Anyone that looked at her now would be able to see the inner depths of her soul, which is extremely dangerous.
Then like hair, strings formed one after another inside it. Although the true name strengthens the witch, it is also a weakness that can be abused by those that know the name. But that didn't matter, even if a person's name was exactly like her true name, anyone that knew must have seen her true name or heard her say it.
As long as anyone changes their true name slightly, their true name will be hidden under the laws of the spiritual and one won't be able to abuse it just by guessing. She had already decided on what kind of eternal name she'd take.
Among all the characteristics that persisted throughout the ages, she would naturally not take the negative ones, but the positive ones wouldn't fit with her, and if she took specific ones, it would be too much of a change. In the end, there was one thing that was somewhat neutral yet also positive – Noble.
A noble personality can be extremely positive, but it can also be cold and cruel. It gives her the air of a higher being, the indifference of the higher being, but also, it's generosity. After all, a single silver coin might be change for a true noble, while it is the wage of a month of a commoner in the old times.
Of course, she couldn't take 'Noble', it is already an established old word. But no one said that you can't use a different word with the same meaning, or even the same word in a different language. Unlike the popular 'Noble', the dead language of Latin, the origin of many languages, naturally also has a word for it.
The strings formed together and finally the name 'Nobilitas' formed. She'd use a different language, but the closest language she knew and had attachment towards is Latin, and she didn't want to be too wilful.
At the same time, she also decided to change her name based on this. In truth, when her body died, she had long lost her name and even forgotten it, now that she could choose… she chose the name 'Adele'. It stems from 'Adel', having the meaning of Noble too, but in a different language, the word itself was still used as far as Adele knew, so she didn't use it as her eternal name.
Additionally, having an eternal name that is much older than her is better, as for Adel, although it is also old, it isn't that old. If she could, she'd even use an older language, but her knowledge was restricted to this, and the only reason she knew the Latin name was because she had worked in a hospital and had to pick up quite a few Latin words, this was just a fun fact at that time.
After completing the name fully, the spiritual power of her soul gathered towards her heart.
There are nine positions for the seals: two hands for action, two feet for movement, heart for emotions and origin, five senses for spiritual awareness, the brain for wisdom, reproductive organ for life, throat for communication and the solar plexus for balance.
Naturally the eternal name is the origin of character and has a deep connection to the origin of self, so the heart is the most fitting. In the same principle, the next thing that fit the best for Adele was her reproductive organ. Fortunately this ritual has the same high requirement of having lived a long life.
The one that creates an eternal name has to have lived for over a thousand years. The pre-version of the next one required every witch to have lived a thousand years, not only time witches, while time witches have the requirement of two thousand years.
Although this might seem simple, the lifespan of witches and anyone that harnesses the spiritual power is defined by the laws of the spiritual world, at least the lower limit.
The lower stages only have a lifespan of one-hundred and fifty, the middle stages have five hundred and the upper stages have a thousand. That is for all the races.
Naturally there are other races that will naturally live longer, but they also have the issue of advancing slower and the requirements of two thousand years for humans becomes much more for other races. In proportion, it is still the same.
The only thing that goes beyond this law are items or spells and rituals that naturally extend lifespan. It can be said that they exist, but they are definitely weakened and the more you take, the less effective they will be.
Because of this, reaching two thousand years for humans is extremely difficult – and that is under consideration that time witches live longer. Even they have to exercise many spells to achieve this. As for Adele… it can be said that she took a cheating way.
Let's not talk about anything else – even if you want to wait those years in a relic, it isn't possible. Adele escaped the laws of the spiritual world because technically, she was still a mortal the whole time. Even now, her body was still constructing and reconstructing. Her soul was catching up with all the time that passed.
Every hundred years, time witches would have a small period of time where they are extremely weakened, only a few hours, but they have to experience this weakness because they live longer through their spells. It is also a reminder than the hundred years are a full lifespan of a mortal, one could say that this is an attack by the river of reincarnation on them. But once they get through it, their soul will become stronger.
Theoretically, Adele was recuperating the whole time in the necklace of inheritance – yes, she knew already that when the sand came in with her, it was a symbol that her physical body died. A lot of coincidences caused her to live so long and escape the laws, but after the first second of waking up, she knew that the laws were upon her as she felt extremely weak.
The only reason she even completed the ritual was because although she felt weak, she wasn't restricted and there was no danger. Else, she would've waited till all her lifetimes caught up with her. It was also because it was technically catching up and because she should've experienced it, that it is so fast, normally a single session of reincarnation would take longer.
