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.

To the casual observer, Neva may look insane. Is she hearing voices in her head? Is she randomly talking to the birds and then cocking her head like they're talking back?
Apparently, the UP is an Enchanted Forest, because Neva can now understand the speech (and they can understand her!) of terrestrial animals.
How many conversations must be happening around her! Will the birds chirping to attract a mate distract her? Or will they provide critical intel at the opportune time?
