The process, which involves a special dance done by the royal priestess called the Dance of Devotion, conjures a vision from the "Pool of Souls", located on the floor of the High Court, surrounded by the lawyers' benches, the witness stand, and the judge's seat. Not only does the vision reveal what a spirit saw, but it also shows what they felt, heard, smelled, and tasted at the time. The royal priestess then interprets the vision in a series of statements called an Insight.

| - The Divination Séance is conducted in the High Court of Khura'in during trials. The process, which involves a special dance done by the royal priestess called the Dance of Devotion, conjures a vision from the "Pool of Souls", located on the floor of the High Court, surrounded by the lawyers' benches, the witness stand, and the judge's seat. Not only does the vision reveal what a spirit saw, but it also shows what they felt, heard, smelled, and tasted at the time. The royal priestess then interprets the vision in a series of statements called an Insight. Although the visions are infallible, they are limited by the perspective of the deceased and the extremely limited scope of time the Séance captures, something Rayfa was not initially aware of. The player can point out contradictions between details within the vision and the Insight, similar to presenting evidence during cross examinations. To do this, the vision can be manipulated like a video, with the ability to pause at or jump to a specific time. The player then must pinpoint the victim's sensation in question from the vision, as well as the claim in the Insight that contains a contradiction. Following this, Rayfa will then revise her Insight to reflect the newly revealed information, sometimes prompting the victim's spirit to focus on the sensation to further refine it. This often leads to other contradictions surfacing which can then be pointed out. The process is thus repeated until the truth behind the victim's vision has been explained. Similar to spirit channelling, the Séance is an ability only the royal family of Khura'in can perform, although it apparently requires less ability than channelling. The process also requires knowledge of both the victim's face and full name in order for the medium to conduct, and can fail if the medium lacks the focus or stamina to carry it out, even if she is already capable.
