It can be achieved through two methods: Drives manifest in many different forms, examples include Ragna the Bloodedge's Soul Eater and Raquel Alucard's Tempest. Clavis Alucard's existence is simply like a Drive in itself because of his existence as an Illusionary Creature.
 * If a person has a strong soul that pulls the Azure to it (Relius Clover and Valkenhayn R. Hellsing);
 * If a soul gets closer to the Azure (Spinner Superior).

Hades Izanami is revealed to be the Master Unit wielder's Drive, but she became her own person now.

In the main games, pressing D normally activates it, but its mechanics and functions depend solely on the character, and how it directly pertains to their special moves, with the exception of Konoe A. Mercury.
