Their divine Breath allows them to reach the Fifth Heightening. Children and animals can sense a Returned's divine Breath, which has an effect on their [[Spiritweb]] and in the [[Cognitive Realm]], making them feel comfortable and react positively to the Returned.{{wob ref|3950}}{{wob ref|7365}} A Returned may give this Breath in an act of self-sacrifice to heal one person. The healing ability can cure diseases, heal almost any wound, and regrow lost body parts.
