Every now and then I get questions about Zan’s mask and what the deal with it is and where it came from, and the answer is that it helps him physically exist. And well from his POV he mainly doesn’t know where it came from, but fortunately or unfortunately he can’t do anything about it.In that world there are different types of spirits, ghosties, demons, etc. with different natures and properties, but in general demons have the greatest propensity to physically manifest on the plane humans exist on. Zan is an artificial creation of a certain god so he has seals on his head and body that are binding, I guess like filling an empty bottle with water and sticking a cork in it. There’s nothing under the paper, and the seal bleeds outside of it and keeps it fixed, regenerates it, and all that magical stuff. His head can be destroyed (without killing him) and the paper will come back along with whatever it’s attached to afterward. The design, size of it, and other aspects have changed over time but its purpose is always to that end. -- source link
