"Much like Hythlodaeus, Alexander was gifted in the Sight - the ability to perceive the flow of life around us. But while Hythlodaeus had the keener eyes, 'twas Alexander who was more proficient in manipulating the aetherflow. A denizen of the Underworld, he was called; one with such great connection to both life and death. To a mage of that caliber, it was no impossible task to separate the soul and the vessel it found itself in."
And, well. The bird sure is Levity! Or part of him, at least - in the middle of all that flame is a smaller shape, once again in his position colour in contrast to the gold and orange of the bird itself.
"... 'Tis like a dance. Or swimming in a current, mayhap.
Concentrate on the energy around you, and let it flow into your soul. Do not interrupt the flow, nor should you try to take the energy for yourself. You are only meant to hold it for a time. Like filling a vessel with water, let it gather in you.
And, once you are strong enough... find the connection between the soul and the object. Untangle it, and draw the soul into the main flow once more. Thus you would set it free."
The bird doesn't notice him at first, thrashing as it is. Another attempt to break itself gouges out a deep gash in the side of its head, though there is only more flame instead of blood. Nevertheless, it collapses, wailing, as the healing magic envelopes the wound again.

He's quiet for a while, then nods.

"Be careful. When a soul rages so, 'tis no simple task to set it free. Calm him, if you are able."
Re: WESTWARD OF TIME
Levity-san.
