I dunno. But King's star is just a celestial constellation during a certain day. I don't think it has anything to do with who conceived the child. And Uk has his own soul, so I don't think there's anything in him from the king. The king only did the deed on the right day.

It's king's claims that are actually questionable.
Naksu's transformed body still has divine powers even though Bu-Yeon's soul is gone.
Ergo magical powers that Uk has were passed on to him by good old genetics from the body of his mage father, meaning Jang Kang. Late king wasn't even a mage.

Is that even a fact she'll appear in part 2? They didn't even show her when she was petrified. What MDL writes here is not always true and is subject to change.

He has CP under his thumb, so his position is covered. His ability to use other people's insecurity is legendary. Immaculate slytherin.

I think mama Jin tops the chart at the moment. She's absolutely bananas.

Her energy was used to transform Bu-Yeon's body. What's left of it exactly is unclear, but mama Jin claims Bu-Yeon's blood still runs through it because Naksu now has and exhibits Bu-Yeon's divine powers.

Nobody knows it seems. But evidence suggests from body.

Shamans do a third type of magic, the forbidden one - sorcery. Curses, alchemy of souls, amulets enchantment fall into that category.

Different types of magic. My guess is that divine magic is bestowed by the sky, mages magic - through the soul (?).
Priestesses also have different powers. They can, for example, render a mage powerless. Like it happened to Naksu in Bu-Yeon's body. They can also erase and scramble memories. And it seems handling artifacts comes easier to them, because they were made by the divine ice stone.

Watch episode 2 again - what master Lee did to Mu-Deok's petrified body.
First, there's no Mu-Deok, it was Bu-Yeon's name given to her by a grandma who had taken her in after she almost drowned 10 years ago. Basically, in part 1 it was Naksu's and Bu-Yeon's souls cohabiting in Bu-Yeon's body after Naksu performed aos.
After the end of part 1, Bu-Yeon's body got petrified, but was still barely alive because of Naksu's energy trapped inside. Master Lee, with grudging agreement from mama Jin, saved the body, but at the expense of removing (aldeady dead?) Bu-Yeon's soul from clinging to Naksu's soul.
So now there's only Naksu's soul left inside, Bu-Yeon is dead. And her body was transformed by master Lee's spell to resemble Naksu's so that the soul and body finally be in harmony and she no longer be a soul shifter.
So to sum it up:
-Bu-Yeon is dead.
-Bu-Yeon's body was transformed to resemble Naksu's soul. Bu-Yeon's blood still courses through it, so Naksu now also has Bu-Yeon's divine powers.
-Naksu is no longer a soul shifter. Her body and soul forms are now identical.
-Naksu lost her memories, her magical energy was all used up to transform the body and her new divine powers are locked due to new body transformation. But master Lee said she will regain them once she either regains her powers, or remembers herself. Once one thing happens, the other will too.

Divine and magical powers are different things. Og poster was asking about her own magical powers, not Bu-Yeon body's divine ones.

Facts 🤣

It's unclear whether her magical powers will return. Master Lee used up all of her energy to mould Bu-Yeon's body into Naksu's. She has no energy now, but I guess she can refill it gradually. I recall grandpa Heo saying that he collected 10 years worth of energy.

I'm not liking master Lee's deliberate inactivity. He knows everything, can do everything, but most of the times does nothing. He even knows how to help soul shifters cure their affliction - mould the bodies they possess into those that resemble their souls.
He could have even helped the Queen, that bitch is still in agony and on constant drugs because of what happened to her.
He also could have prevented some of Jin Mu's and shaman's plans in part 1.
And he certainly could have told Uk that Naksu's alive. Poor guy's life is living hell now, he even wants to attempt suicide. Come on, master Lee, stop being such a stick in the mud!

Most likely because it's some unknown sorcery.

Yea, it means nobody actually knows shit about biology there and are just speculating. But since it's clear that Naksu still has divine powers even though Bu-Yeon's soul is dead, it means that genetics are actually passed down through good old biology, not through souls. And Jang Uk is Jang Kang's son. Which was also obvious since late king wasn't even a mage.

It’s fantasy, they can have whatever fashion they want.

No, he just misspoke. Naksu still used aos, but she got trapped inside Bu-Yeon’s body. Not sure what Jin Mu gonna do now though, she’s no longer a soul shifter. Will the bells still work? Does she still hold a curse from the shaman?

They did, watch episode 2.

Keep in mind it's only 10 episodes and they've a lot of ground to cover. No time to dawdle.
