A temple on Verens isn't going to be a temple I'm going to want to practice my art in. Unless I constructed it myself, sanctified it, and found a kami to inhabit it, that's not a Shinto temple.

Someone I met suggested to me that I might be able to use dunamis to connect with the local wildlife. I've been practicing a bit, and I think I'd like to try that.
