Reinhard
Od Laguna creates and gives blessings to Reinhard:
Reinhard's Blessing of the Phoenix revives him once, however it is stated that he will just get the next Blessing of the Phoenix:
The reason he keeps getting the next version of the blessing is cause the world, or rather Od Laguna, which are synonymous, won't let him die:
This is pretty clearly type 8 immortality, he will just keep resurrecting unless you kill Od Laguna which is giving him the blessing.

~ Bond of Ice, Prologue |
| [Subaru: Ummm, what are Hollows?] [Roswaal: They are said to be passed away life's thoughts and regrets left behind in the world for the living, unable to return to Od Laguna, continuing to drift about in the realm of the dead…….that's where these existences are, perhaps.] | ||

| Subaru: "By any chance, are you a God?" Louis: "A God you say…… Ah, that? Something like, reincarnation in a different world? We don't really get it but, we have nothing to do with that. Certainly, this place may cause such strange feelings though." Fluttering the fluffy blonde hair that slid down her back, forming a cage, Louis responded. Louis: "This place is, just as it looks. A place with nothing to lose, therefore a place that has nothing. As we're alone in this place, we may look something like it's guardian." Subaru: "Od Lagna's cradle, was it? You said it's name was the Hall of Memories, though I don't understand anything about it, not a single thing." Louis: "Mm, mm, mm, mm, is that so…… To summarise, this is the place where the soul gets filtered." Subaru: "Soul gets, filtered?" Question marks arose in Subaru's mind, as he heard an expression he was not acquainted with. Filter would mean the same as the process of filtration, however, it is not often that you hear that for souls. However, Louis pleasantly says "Yes yes" as she pulled her knees in. Louis: "After using something once, you would wash and dry it and reuse it again? The same goes for souls. Cleansed of it's stains, it goes back to it's beautiful state." Subaru: "What do you mean by stains…… things like memories or experiences?" Subaru turned his neck around toward Louis, who distorted her cheeks and displayed her tongue. As usual, there came up nothing new in the white spaceÒâ╝Òâ╝ in the Hall of Memories. In this unpopulated world of white, there was no easy-to-understand evidence for what Louis had said. If this place was like what Louis had told it is, perhaps there would be floating visual evidences of souls, memories or experiences in some way. Louis: "Well, it's not so easy to understand." Subaru: "That God Od Lagna is pretty cruel." Louis: "That thing can't be called a god. It isn't as wonderful as it may seem. It's just a mechanism. A mechanism to keep the world from breaking." | ||
~ Arc 6, Chapter 60 |
| Subaru: "Louis said it was a mechanism to keep the world from breaking. Do you have any idea?" Beatrice: "Even Betty isn't well-knowledgeable regarding that, I suppose. But at least that it is said to be the world's core point…… where all the mana returns to, is known, in fact." Turning her neck sideways, Beatrice voiced out her doubt. Putting her finger on her sliding down drills, she continued to fidget with her hair. Beatrice: "All mana returns there, subsequently circulating…… In other words, Od Lagna is an existence heavily tied to the death and Regenerationn of spirits. That's why, it wouldn't be correct to say Betty and the others of her kind are unrelated to it." | ||

Od Laguna creates and gives blessings to Reinhard:
| Q: Can Reinhard make up blessings himself? Or is he given them from blessings that already exist? A: When Reinhard feels a blessing is needed, Od Laguna creates it and gives it to him. Sometimes there are errors in conveying his intention, and he doesn't get a proper blessing. | ||
~ Reinhard's birthday 2019, Q&A |
| Q: I know that Reinhard lost the Blessing of the Phoenix, and gained the Next Blessing of the Phoenix, but if he lost the Next Blessing of the Phoenix, would he gain another new Blessing of the Phoenix, as you'd expect? A: He would. They should go on becoming the Next Next. | ||
~ Reinhard's birthday 2019, Q&A |
| Q: I think I remember reading about the Blessing of the Phoenix - Next in some what-if story, but does Reinhard really have that sort of blessing? A: He does have it, and if the Next goes away, he'll be given the Next Next. The world won't let him die. | ||
