Rituals
Activating a Sound of the Cleansing Soul ritual while standing on top of the Master Ritual Stone will strip all upgrades from the chestplate and drop Living Armor Upgrade Tomes of each ability retaining its specific level. Upgrade Tomes can be used in hand to place the respective ability onto the currently worn Living Chestplate. Two Tomes of the same ability and level can be combined in an anvil.
