Somm gathers the descendant daughter into the room, seating her across from him at the table. Somm then plays off a riff from a traditional taoist instrument, and as the sound streams through the air the wispy spirit of the girl's ancestor is summoned into the room: called from the grave.
Somm utilizes a Taoist technique in which one's ancestor can be contacted through the usage of their descendant as a conduit / tie to the modern world of the living: however this requires that one is able to play a summoning / heralding "Call" for them, which is satisfied by the focus of this power. The actual technique which this is, is referred to as Mun Mai.
