Soul Mastery
What is a Soul Master? One who demonstrates through exceptional skills to be able to use, manipulate, control, and devour spirits. This user is one who is able to use spiritual energy to regain their own vim count. He is one who can draw out souls from the underworld, who can shield others souls, who can shield own soul, and who can torture and even destroy a living soul. Ultimately, once the Spiritual Nexus and the powers therein are Mastered, there isn’t anything than can touch his own spirit, save Dahak Himself.
What is the Spiritual Nexus? The Spiritual Nexus is an area heavily concentrated with the underworld. Since the Necropolis base is the Dahak Underworld, then the Spiritual Nexus is that one part of the Necropolis wherein the maximum amount of Spiritual energy is located. Its location varies wherever the Soul Master is located at. The Spiritual Nexus transforms the Necropolis barrier and goes wherever the User goes. Some spirits are caught up in a special part of the Spiritual Nexus, called the land of the dead. Spirits that are trapped between the real world and the afterlife.
Novice-
Level One – Echo - Every spirit, be is living or undead, or captured (Underworld, land of the dead) has a signature which continually gives off a series of patterns in pulses that no one ever hears nor feels. This is because they are unable to feel its presence. The Learning Soul student will begin to pick up on these vibration patterns and map them out in their mind. This is called the Spirit’s Echo. Through this power they can keep track of a spirit, for up to Two days from the time you pick up on it. Excellent tool for keeping track of a would be enemy. No Matter where they go, you can trace it. The general rule is, the further away they are from you, the more time it will take to pick up on their exact location.
Level Two – Spirit Burn – By making contact physically with another being, you can stir their spirit to a frightful stage. Resembling the powers of hell into the body of the victim, it will cause them to fear you, and the power you hold in your being. This is most useful when trying to warn someone of your ability that you might not wish to fully use.
Level Three – Free Spirit – This power can be used one of two ways. Either way resolves around freeing a spirit from the underworld. You may use this power to free a single spirit from either the underworld or land of the dead. If you free them from the land of the dead, you must decide rather or not they move on into the underworld, or released back into the real world. You may release them into the real world to be free to do their own will. Or you may free them only for a period of time to do an assigned task for you.
Intermediate –
Level Four – White Flames - Beginning in this stage you are able to learn how to protect both your own soul and the souls of other beings. The first stage in this process is called white flames. This power will allow you to create a blanket of spiritual energy around your own body or around the body of the one you are wishing to protect. Anyone making contact with it, or attacking the spirit from within the white flames will themselves find their souls under attack. It begins to penetrate into the victim’s soul, destroying it until they either release from the flames or stop the spirit attack they are wishing to deal. The power lasts for up to 24 hours depending on the wish of the student.
Level Five – Bond – This power allows you to bond their soul with you. While their own body and functions work properly, their soul cannot be touched without them first going through your own soul to begin with. This is a protection power and should be used by one who is able to defend their own soul with confidence. This lasts, as long as the Soul student wishes for it to.
Level Six – Spiritual Healing – The student learns to heal spiritual damage either to themselves or for another being. So long as their spirit isn’t utterly destroyed, this power can be used to piece it back together. This can be done a couple of ways. Firstly, so long as the damaged part of the spirit isn’t contained somewhere in protection, you can use this power to piece it back together. This is the quicker way to handle it, and can be done in a matter of 15-30 minutes. If however, part of the spirit is bound up somewhere, the student can revert to the second option which is to use this power in combination with “Echo” in order to figure out the missing pieces. They can make a clone of that spirit by fragmenting the missing pieces with parts of other spirits with similar patterns. While this option is time consuming it’s as close to a full fit as possible. You would take those cloned pieces and free the remaining usable spirit and bond them together. You would then free the spirit and it will return naturally to the one you are trying to help. This power is very helpful, but has limitations. Because your fragmenting cloned pieces from other spirits and not their actual spirit there will be some slight differences in the being. They will be themselves up to 90%. Which means they may find they will desire to do things they might not of before and not desire things they may have desired before. A small price to pay for a restored spirit.
Soul Master-
Level Seven - Gateway – This power works similar to free spirit, except this power can be used to free many spirits, up to 100. Rarely, if ever will these spirits be freed into the world forever. It’s likely you will use this power in combination with “Verta” to increase your Vim pool.
Level Seven – Verta – This power allows the user to take free spirits and to bond them to himself. They are completely in the soul masters control and is used to boost Power level. You can boost your daily power limits Plus one for each level (lesser, intermediate, and Master) Gateway Required for use.
Level Eight – Entrapment of the soul – This is used to strip the soul of a recently departed being. This power only works in recently killed Victims. It must be used before someone else entraps the soul. Use the power to secure it to an Artifact of some sorts. You will want to bond it to it to be stored for use at a later time.
Level Nine – Devour – This power is used to destroy the spirit or either a living or non-living being. If they are living, a white flame will overlay a yellow flame as they work in harmony to destroy the soul within the being. The flames are not elemental so using water against it will not work. Once they make contact with your soul, they will carry on with them even if they shift dimensions. This does not kill any one being, but rather destroys their soul, making them like a Ghost wondering in a physical form. That process will work on mortal, werewolves, Vampires, Demons, Daemons, etc. If the spirit is free but not connected to any vessel then the spirit is targeted with the flames and utterly destroyed.
