Ba

For the archetype commonly abbreviated BA, see Burning Abyss.

Ka and Ba

Ba is a person's life force. The name ba is not used in the English dub, where it is simple referred to as life force. When someone Summons or commands a ka, they lose ba. If someone loses all their ba, they die (get sent to the Shadow Realm in the dub). The strength of one's ka depends on the strength of their ba.

In the anime, the amount of ba is shown on the Eye of Wdjat of the user's DiaDhank.

LP are the modern-day equivalent of ba.

Basis in Egyptian mythologyEdit

The Ba (𓅽) was an aspect of the soul in Egyptian mythology roughly translating to "soul", "personality" or "reputation". In life one's Ba would remain anchored to their soul, though would outlive them upon death and be released from their body as a human-headed bird, though eventually rejoining their Ka in the afterlife.
