Q: "What is a soulbond?"
A: Being soulbound is a spiritual belief that you are connected to the real version of your partner in one of the infinite number of verses there are via the multiverse theory or some other personal belief. Soulbonds are two sided and cannot be forced because the other person you’re soulbound to is real! Some level of connection or communication is required.
Q: "How do I soulbond? Can I initiate one?"
A: As I stated previously, it cannot be forced and it's a real, two sided relationship that forms from a strong, mutual bond. There are multiple ways to attempt to strengthen a possible bond; this can be through something like meditation or letter writing, or if you have more experience in spiritual practices, something like channeling your energy and using tarot cards or a pedulum, etc.
Q: "Is soulbonding a DID/OSDD/system term?"
A: No! This misconception has been widely spread by Pluralpedia which commonly spreads misinformation regarding multiplicity. Soulbonding is a spiritual term.
