I have decided to choose a more flashy and direct title for my new work.
Specifically, I am creating a magic system and I have chosen the name "Rei"
(霊) for it, but I don't want to offend anyone or anything. So, I have decided
to follow the example of some manga and add one more kanji to the name. I have
chosen "真霊" (Shinrei) and I like it. I would like to know if it is a good
name, or more precisely, how can I ensure that my power system does not
disrespect the meaning of the name?

question
meaning words kanji manga names
Can you suggest a name for an energy in a magic system that incorporates the kanji 真霊?
It won't offend anyone, but 真霊 would simply mean "true ghost". It doesn't look
like the name of a system to the eyes of a Japanese speaker. A simple
workaround is to add the suffix [-術](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jutsu),
making it 真霊術 (Shinrei-jutsu). Actually, while 霊術 is not in a dictionary, it's
a real word that vaguely refers to various spiritual/psychic arts in fantasy
or occult contexts.
