This Atlas Technology was designed for transferring aura from 1 host to another No, it was designed explicitely to transfer a soul (specifically a maiden soul) from one person to another, as was demonstrated in Volume 3.

There is ONE being such technology would work for, Ozma, and these Atlesian scientists weren't designing it for him or aware it could be an issue. I assume the technology would be applicable to maidens as well, considering the way their souls are transferred (and then merged with the new host) are basically indistinguishable from the way Ozma reincarnates. So they could have studied a maiden to create the technology, not just Ozma. And even if Ozpin were the only test subject they could study to create such technology, you don't know that they didn't do that anyway.

2ndly Ozma himself has had access to Jinn for centuries, you truly think he never asked how to do this? Got tired of murdering more than friends? He gave nearly a century ago at least, if it were possible, he'd have the answer by now to make sure he never came back in another persons body. I actually considered this, and it's actually quite obvious why he wouldn't want to do that. Ozma is a person who's lived for centuries, has lost the love of his life (and his children, by extension), and has nobody else from his previous existence (family, friends, etc.) to connect with. It is, therefore, unsurprising that Ozma would latch onto the mechanism of his reincarnation, because it allows him to constantly inherit the family and friends of his new host. It gives him access to human connection in a way that he might be too fatigued and out of touch to forge otherwise.

Thus, he may not see this as a curse, or something to solve, or something to waste a Jinn question on; but rather as the one gift he has in an existance that (let's face it) is pretty bleak and depressing.

It may not be until Oscar confronts him, and let's him know the hurt that he's causing him by assimilating him into his fold, that Ozma realizes that his gift is causing pain to others. Only then would Ozma seek out a solution.

3. Technology exists because person A Observes need B and comes up with solutions C-Z, it isn't spontaneously generated nor a fast process, sometimes C works, sometimes Z doesn't. This technological work you are talking about is literally undoing intended actions of gods, yet only observed in the days to weeks before Atlas potentially falls as a civilization. It's only observed by us, the viewers, in Volume 7. That's not to say that research and development hasn't been happening in Atlas for decades before that.

4. I was saying he has more odds of dying V Salem, without Oz, Oscar would be dead meat in any encounter, with Oz, he's still likely dead, but he could buy time for the protags escape. Salem is coming, that we know, there is no indication of separation before that. No, you said specifically, and I quote:

I expect Oz will die permanently somehow, unfortunately for Oscar, Salem thinks he is Oz, so regardless, she will target Oscar. Which implies that Oz dies before being confronted by Salem, not versus Salem.
