Soul Blast

"Turquoise blast, came from it's mouth, the damage it did was unholy..." Unknown survivor of a Soul Dragon attack.
A Soul Blast is a powerful type of energy blast generated by a Soul Dragon, consuming her Soul energy in the process. The Soul Blast is formed and fired from the Soul Dragon's mouth and manifests as a turquoise bolt or beam depending on the intent of the blast. Soul Blasts are rarely used by Soul Dragons that are not fully grown due to the ready availability of firearms for these younger Soul Dragons, and because a young Soul Dragon's body isn't fully developed yet and doesn't store energy as efficiently.
The power of a Soul Blast gets higher as the Soul Dragon using it gets older, and more skilled at using the blast. While few reports exist of Soul Blasts being used, those that do make special note of the sheer power of the Soul Blast, with several of these reports mentioning that even glancing shots did crippling damage.
A skilled Elder Soul Dragon can use her Soul Blast to cut terrestrial land-masses all the way through geological plates if the blast is constant but relatively weak. This ability to slice landmasses up when paired with the manipulation abilities of older Soul Dragons was used to reform the continents of Dragoia (Planet) after the Soul Dragon victory at The Battle Of Ancient Dragoia for seemingly unknown reasons.
==Mechanical Reproduction Of This Attack==
No species has ever successfully reproduced this attack as it is actually impossible to truly re-create, requiring the incredibly unique biology of a Soul Dragon to produce. The Ancient Dragoians arguably came closest by using the byproduct of the attack, Dragnite, to form powerful beam weapons.
Zarkrana is said to mount an attack similar to a Soul Blast both visually and in effect. This consists of a specially designed Dragnite weapon's array that consists of one giant beam, surrounded by a rapidly rotating ring of smaller beams.
==Byproducts==
===== Main article: Dragnite =====
Soul Blasts leave behind a byproduct which rapidly crystallises upon impact, this crystalline substance can be refined and used as a power source similar to that of crude oil, it is also known to increase weapon power when used in explosives. It characteristically burns very hot in a bright turquoise flame when in a liquid or powdered form and produces a similar coloured discharge when weaponized in crystalline form.
The Dragoian and Ancient Dragoian species call the substance Dragnite, while other species call it different names. The Soul Dragons themselves do not actually name the product, simply calling it a byproduct of Soul Blasts. The substance is found where soul blasts were used in large quantities, such as on Dragoia (Planet) and Androgia.
