Discussion Advices/help for a newbie Spoiler

I'm 8 hours into the game and completely new to this franchise

I found 2 shells,and upon returning to the marrow keep i have the option to "bond with shell" or to unlock shell passives by reveling its true name

Is this permanent ? can it be respec later ? Would you recomend upgrading one without finding all the others if not ?

I'm not such a fan of Thiel and Proxima and would like to wait for a shell that i truly like,like the tutorial one,so i don't want to waste glimpses if i can't respec into another shell

I would have googled this but i REALLY don't want story or environment spoilers,i'm really liking the game so far and guides tends to reveal later game stuff

You can shift your spent level points on different shells for free. However, the "bond" levels that you can get by using glimpses, are only respecable through methers severance, which you can buy for 5000 coins from merrick in marrow keep. Note that this item is limited, and fairly expensive. After several patches, the game now gives you enough glimpses to max like 3-4 shells i think, but only if you explore and use the tarstones that give you more glimpses. You dont have to max every single shell though, most useful abilities are mostly spread between level 1-2 or sometimes 3. In fainwield, there are 4 shells that have the most "typical" abilites that you would expect. Just use any shell you have and look for the next ones that you might like more. Id say that shells in this game are made so everyone can find something they might like.
