What If (Bleach)

What if reiatsu has a similar way of working as magic in HP.

It would be awesome to have a talking portrait of dead (really dead) people, giding you and providing a glimpse of the past.

The reiatsu of the person could be incorporated in the painting/drawing with Kido spells and seals. It would survive the person's death and be self sufficient.

But it would be a very precious and pricy thing (money, ressources, talent...) , only affordable by the nobles or the higher levels of the Gotei 13. The more you pour reiatsu in the object during your lifetime, the more realistic the reactions would be. The reiatsu is engraved in a time and it would take time and a lot of effort to put a profound way of thinking into it (the chiefs of the noble houses and the captains would have a duty to implement regularly their reiatsu in their ceremonial portrait).

The family's shrines and some workdesks would be very noisy.

Hisana's funeral portrait telling Byakuya he's a massive dumbass (and becoming fast friend with Ichigo when Rukia showed up with him).

Kaien doing his best to help Rukia and the Shibas. Him being extatic at meeting Ichigo (and trashing Isshin). His portrait would be side by side with Isshin's and Miyako's so they could converse easily.

Unohana smiling on Kyone's desk. Kyoraku and Rukia having one of Ukitake on theirs.

Rangiku ranting at Gin's ceremonial portrait for him being a bastard and abandoning her.

There would be no fair portrait of Aizen, as he was always lying (and couldn't afford a portrait that looked like the real him).
