Anu was the Traveller, which chose family of Udi'Obi. She thought, that there is nothing more important than the peace between nature and humanity, so she gave a gift of Anumanu to the First Humans, also known as the Gift of the Second Soul.
When the member of the Udi'Obi family is born, somewhere in the island a new animal is born too and the soul of this animal is connected with the soul of a member of Udi'Obi family for forever. The member of Udi'Obi family faces his first challenge during the first phase of his life (usually, the person has to deal with this challenge till his 18th birthday. Otherwise, he is considered as not worth of the gift and will never be able to use Anumanu). This challenge is called: "The Search of the Second Soul". The person has to find that animal during the first 18th years of his life and make the connection, taming that animal. If the person succeeds, the animal becomes guardian and guide of the specific Udi'Obi. That animal is called The Second Soul.
Other challenges may come up if a person is willing to improve his ability. It is a very long and a very hard way, which asks a lot of devotion. First of all, person has to find a tutor, another member of Udi'Obi family, who already improved his ability and would teach the younger member of the family of the communication.
Sometimes, person even has to leave his home and live as an animal of specific spiecies. Usually, the road to a better knowledge of Anumanu depends on the tutor and the Second Soul. After all, each animal has his own personalities too. Sometimes, animals are just too lazy, or too wild!

Levels of Anumanu:
1 - 5 level: The person may speak with a single animal (his guardian and guide, whom the person finds during "The Search of the Second Soul"), allowing two-way communication with the beast. This communication does not give the person control over the animal. It's just communication. Animal may risk his own life to save his second soul, but if the animal would get killed, Udi'Obi would lose his own soul, the person would die.
6 - 7 level: The person learns how to communicate and command for his second soul and how to communicate with the animals of the same species as his second soul. However, these animals wouldn't risk their life for the person, but would provide him with needed information.
8 - 9 level: On this level the person learns how to communicate with all animals within earshot. So, it doesn't matter what type of animal it is. If the animals are easily trained (like dogs) they could do some tricks for the Udi'Obi, but nothing dangerous.
10 - 11 level: With this level, Udi'Obi joins his mind with his guardian. Once the link is established, the person's and the animal’s minds are linked until the person decides to lose the connection. While linked, the person can see, hear, and feel, what his guardian animal does. However, if the animal is injured, the Udi'Obi gets injured too. If the animal dies, the person dies too.
12 level: This ability gives the person total control of any animal from the spiecies of his guardian. It will do whatever the pserson wishes, even at the cost of its own life. For example, if the person's second soul is rabbit, any of the rabbits can be controlled by Udi'Obi, but just one at a time. Though, still, if controlled animal dies, the person dies too.
The flaw of the gift: If the second soul or controlled animal of a member of Udi'Obi family dies, that person dies too. If it gets injured, the person gets injured too.
