Soul flight

Although the Dalmer can learn to detach their soul while still alive via soul flight. Over time the soul deteriorates until becoming non-existent, meaning that spending too much time away from a haunted object or thing will cause the soul to disappear. The only other way for the dalmer to actually “cease to exist” is to commit spiritual suicide by flying towards the atmosphere, never to return, or to be reunited with the souls’ original skull, where it will remain dormant indefinitely.
== Soul flight ==
The Dalmer practice a form of astral projection known as Soul flight but the applications of this practice are not very well known.
The pulse of the heart is what keeps the Dalmer soul connected to his body. Soul flight is how the Dalmer suppress this reflex. It is also why sometimes the Dalmer return as undead incorporeal forms.
Sometimes, a Dalmers astral form can be captured into films, portraits or pictures.
Soul flight is developed by Dalmer who experience NDE’s, which have become standard for Dalmer youth. This is the reason why psychopathy is relatively frequent among Dalmer.
== Ectoplasmic Separation Procedure; the discovery of soul flight ==
It was noticed early by the Dalmer that the Soul of a Dalmer could be extracted before the moment of death. 
The Ectoplasmic Separation Procedure is a process which enables individuals to control a sentient projection of themselves through lucid dream states. An assembler is then used to allow patients to take control of the projection (erroneously called a soul) via lucid dreaming.
The ESP assembler is employed to allow patients, while being carefully monitored, to enter prolonged lucid dreaming states, and control their Soul, acting as its host (the personality that controls the soul is identical to the one inhabiting the body, later studies revealed that a soul created post mortem has a markedly different personality than the one created by soul flight).
Prior to interfacing with the assembler, patients are subjected to "therapy" sessions designed to induce extreme mental states akin to near death experiences. This is intended to trigger a psychosomatic response in the patient's bodily systems, which renders them more receptive to the separation and control process. The nature of this therapy is extremely taxing on the patient's sanity, only a test subject who has witnessed enough horror is capable of activating the assembler's engine.
While controlling the soul, patients are placed in a spherical fluid Health Protector filled container, with life support tubes inserted into various orifices. The patient's body is injected with a stream of precursor molecules, which are then assembled by the patient's own cells. If the patient is not receptive to the assembly process, it can rapidly cause the formation of lesions and tumour-like growths.
The pulse of the heart is what keeps the Dalmer soul connected to his body. Soul flight therapy is how the Dalmer suppress this reflex. It is also why sometimes the Dalmer return as undead incorporeal forms.
Soul flight is developed by Dalmer who experience NDE’s, which have become standard for Dalmer youth. This is the reason why psychopathy is relatively frequent among Dalmer.
Later this technology became widely available to all Dalmer who undergo the therapy sessions while in day care and are given injections of precursor molecules. These therapies are repeated every ten to twenty years to allow for optimal Soul Flight capabilities, although the psychological trauma is far more reaching than mere decades.
== Ectoplasmic Separation Towers ==
ESP Towers are a line of factories constructed in order to create an isolated environment for testing afterlife, soul flight, mind transfer and other experiments.
The towers emit large flashes of light, followed by a loud humming noise, which engulfs the sky for a brief second. The light is powerful enough to disrupt an airborne vehicle's engine and even kill small animals, such as birds and fish. Temporary subjection has minimal effects, however, long-term exposure causes individuals to hallucinate and experience events unique to them. Victims are as such prone to a slow deterioration of their mental health and behavior, making them more susceptible to a variety of consequences, such as manipulation.
== Differences between spirit and demonic possession ==
For a spirit, possession is an advanced form of soul flight that allows the immaterial being to possess an individual.
Demonic possession is the infection of a host organism by Saccharomyces Demonica which gives the demon complete control of the host. In time, demonic possession turns the host into the physical manifestation of the demon. The physical manifestation is a “true” demonic form that can reproduce.
