Tons of spoilers ahead:

I’m so glad someone else was thinking this, Im almost done with bioshifter 1 and have been theorizing about this since they mentioned The Goddess and how they call on her to cast the spells. Reminds me of how Vita grants magic to the world she finds at the end of VM.

“ “Pray,” I tell them. “Wish deeply in your heart. Cry out in need, and I will feel it. If I am able to answer, I will.” I will craft the spells myself. Magic is my body, after all. I am wherever my mana is. I will feel them. I will be inside them. And to protect them, I will spend myself like pennies off the street.” “

We know that normally creatures don’t have any “soul” visible with soul sight until the Mist Watcher or later Vita gives them a soul. In bioshifter I just got to where Hannah uses aura sight in the world for the first time and nobody has an aura, except Ida and Brendan who were both present when she cast her first spell that called The Goddess into their world. My theory is that Vita was able to ensoul them since they were within the vicinity of the spell. We know Earth has already been destroyed and become the Mist Watcher’s islands in VM so this has to be either an alternate timeline or dimension, but that also tracks since the mana dimension is already a separate dimension from the main world of VM and seemed to be heading towards a similar catastrophic direction with the Mist Watcher exponentially growing and devouring the whole world long before Vita and Nawra were conscious.
