You misunderstand what reincarnation is and does. [Diluc says as he picks up his goblet. The cold the blood inside gives off makes him shiver once. He still drinks.] Those who reincarnate are not shadows. If they were blades, they would be glowing white hot.

Their spirits are too powerful to be contained in one cycle of life. There's much unfinished that carries over. And the power of their spirit is folded over, hammered into an even stronger weapon. You are more than you've ever been just because you passed through death's door and refused to stay there.

It leaves a mark. To those of us who passed through the door and changed, became other. We see it. [He swirls his goblet and takes another sip.] And no one has used Foul Legacy since him. Or could. I never knew how he got it. But I know when someone has been through a crucible of survival.
