Side note: As a reaper you are answerable to the Court. They took you out of the Circle of Life, and they have the rituals to put you straight back in. The occasional projection into the Underworld to explain what you have found, is required. When whatever problem the mortals unleashed is discovered, you did it, mission over, head back to the Underworld for debriefing, and the Court will decide if the problem effects the Underworld enough to act.
So one thing I don't quite get... Are the Underworld/Court/Reapers "magical" (you mentioned rituals) or are they explainable parts of the universe; some sort of metaphysical plane of existence where things work in bizzare ways?
It's not really magical and more out of scope of our mortal plane, like the Elder Gods.
I mean for fuck sakes, we have psychics.
