Ghostwire: Tokyo - Everything You Need To Know About Spirit Transmission
Spirit Transmission is the main activity you’ll be doing in Ghostwire: Tokyo — yes, even more than fighting yokai. This will be your main source of Experience Points, and also a minor but still relevant way of earning meika, the in-game currency.

Despite the game giving a clear explanation of this system, we’ll give you some important details and nuances about this activity. So prepare your katashiro, located your closest payphone, and be ready to absorb some sweet spirits.
Introduced pretty early in the game, you’ll discover that the streets and buildings of Tokyo are flooded with spirits. These are the spirits of the entire population of the city, which was wiped out after the initial plot point. It’s your duty to recover every single spirit trapped here and transmit them to Ed, a friend of KK who can help the spirits reach the other side.
To do so, you have to capture said spirits using a katashiro. This is a magic paper that lets you store spirits in it. You’ll unlock a few katashiro at the beginning of Chapter 2, after cleaning a story-related torii gate. Each katashiro will let you absorb one 'group' of spirits.
Each blue shape you see won't be a single spirit. They will be gathered in 'groups', and you'll receive a window telling you how many spirits you have gathered. There's a total of 240,300 spirits scattered through the whole city.
Once you have packed all of your special papers, you have to use a payphone to speak with Ed and ‘transfer’ him the accumulated spirits. The more quantity you send at once, the more Experience Points and meika you’ll receive.
You can stock up to 50 katashiro. Each one can be purchased for 3,000 meika in any convenience store.
