==Also Called==
*Afterlife Channeling/Connecting
*Afterlife Link/Linking
*Afterlife Tapping
*Land of the Dead Connection
*Spiritual Anchor/Connection
==Capabilities==
The user has ability to connect to the afterlife, linking to the "world beyond" also where spirits/souls go. This allows the user to become one with the spiritual, capable of interact with spirits and even channel its vast resources to generate, harness and manipulate the near unlimited amounts of the spiritual energies that exist within the realm, gaining spiritual abilities/powers as a secondary effect of the connection, bound to the nature of said world. 
This can create a symbiotic bond with the afterlife itself, the stronger connections to the realms of the afterlife possess the potential to assume total control over the afterlife itself while in the spectral lands or even possibly outside the realm depending on their power. This is shown to be a high-level function possessed by mediums, enabling them to reach out beyond the living plane over to the planes beyond life.
Due to the nature and function of this ability, it is a high-level connective power in combination with a spiritual link to the afterlife that acts as an extra-dimensional power source to gain or augment existing spiritual powers.
Unlike mediumship, which is the power to simply communicate with the dead, afterlife connection enable them to reach out beyond the physical plane where the earthbound spirits dwell to the spirits who have passed over and communicate with or channel them. Compared to spiritual interaction, which is the power to interact with spiritual beings on a purely physical level, being actually connected to the afterlife can grant so much more than just physical powers, allowing for energy manipulations and communications between the world of the living and the dead through an entity.
