The Soul

The soul is the spectral identifier of a being; an amalgamation of their consciousness and existence outside of the physical and mental realmscapes.

There are different kinds of souls such as:

* Shadow Souls: Mortal Souls w/ the Kindratic Flow. Shadow souls are the default weakest, but can exist in any place in time and space that the Spectral Realm can be, though outside forces could still influence it.
* Galdr Souls: Mortal Souls w/ the Galdr. Galdr converts Shadow Souls into Galdr Souls over 10-20 years. Can last upwards of one month without access to additional Galdr energy, slowly weakening as time goes on.
* Xaxian Souls: Mortal Souls w/ Xax's Blessing.
* Celestial Souls: Immortal Souls w/ Celestial energy. Celestial souls do not require a physical form to exist. Can fully access Celestial energy.
* Void Souls: Immortal Souls w/ Void energy. Void souls do not require a physical form to exist. Can fully access Void energy. Void Souls are immune to soul manipulation abilities, curses, and plagues outside of void-specific ones, and are extremely durable, due to void essence being the most dense spectral force.

There are various spectral forces at play in the development of souls and the Spectral Realm.

* Shadow/Soul Energy [Tier 1]: The basis of all mortal and immortal lite souls. Started from the bottom-
* Kindratic Flow [Tier 1]: The spectral force which maintains the spectral life of shadow soul beings.
* Xaxian Magic [Tier 2]: The magical force imbued into all Underian being's souls. Allows classical magic manipulation, and grants immunity to Tier 1 corruption/curse/plagues, and resistance to Tier 2's.
* Galdr Energy [Tier 2]: The energy littered throughout the Abyssal realms in its many differing flavors. Grants a varied amount of buffs to soul-based constructs based on the flavor you pick.
* Void Essence [Tier 3]: The essence of the Void itself, capable of resisting the destructive nature of Celestial energies when other souls falter. Cannot be corrupted, cursed, plagued, or destroyed by spectral energies of Tier 2 or less.
* Celestial Energy [Tier 3]: The essence of creation itself, known for its destructive and creative powers.
* Armagedic Energy [Tier 4]: The combined energy output of Celestial and Voidal essences; the most powerful known force in existence.
