Precursors of the modern Shintai Disciplines, the Godbodies were prominent Disciplines in Kuei-jin society during the Fourth Age. In contrast to their modern incarnation, the elemental link between the Discipline and the Kuei-jin was far more pronounced and more like the powers the original Wan Xian had wielded. When the Fifth Age began, the Godbody Disciplines degenerated into the Shintai arts used by modern Kuei-jin. Not even Bodhisattvas were unaffected by this fundamental change and in the Final Nights, the original Godbody techniques can no longer be duplicated.
