Capsule Description: A Kiyumbe is created via Bokkor ritual from a deceased human soul not in Heaven, Hell, or non-Devourer's Domain. See petit-bon-ange for most details; however, the Bokkor ritual sends the Celestial Forces (the gros-bon-ange) to its final reward (the soul may attempt to become a ghost or dream-shade, or possibly reincarnate) and binds the remaining Forces as a Servant. Some Ethereal Forces may be lost, and most of the original personality is eradicated; the remaining intelligence is low, mostly animal instinct, and Devourer-influenced negativity.
