[Yukine hums a sigh and rubs at the back of his head.]
It's not black-and-white as to what kind of wrong causes it. It's whatever the shinki feels guilty over, which is different for everyone, right?
As for the god, yah, it hurts them. The blight makes them feel worn down and sick. The longer it goes on, the worse they feel. [Like with when he'd explained this to Erk, he's not going so far as to say 'the god might die from it'. He has a bad feeling about that.]
So, to save both the god and the shinki, the fallen shinki is put through ablution. Three shinki say the incantation, draw borderlines and put him in a purgatory. He is then forced to confess everything, or he'll completely fall into being an ayakashi. It's... like Kairi said in the post, it's a horrible, painful process. And, as you might imagine, personal too, because the shinki has to confess. [He then looks at Jay with a direly serious expression.]
So I hope you can see now why I wanted to talk to people in person about this. Listen, it's good for gods and shinki to know about this in case it comes up, and I don't want anyone to get hurt because they didn't know. But it's all preventable. I don't want shinki to think that ablution is an 'easy cure' to personal blight. 'Cause it's not.
