Kaparu is the art of cleansing ugliness from a person, object, or concept via the power of jewels of dumaqu. This can be achieved in but one way: by filling the jewels with emotion and sealing them into the person, object, or concept (via symbol). A jewel is "full" of emotion at the threshold of explosion (max of 27). Once the jewel is full, one must get the jewel inside of their target (or the symbol of their target if the target is a concept), and seal it in there. Sealing requires a work of elegance and art be used in the process (very fine needlework is perhaps the most common). This will cleanse away any ugliness, metaphorical or literal, within someone or something, if and only if the jewel is stronger than the ugliness.
