A person’s Soul serves as a semi-accurate reflection of their hopefulness and inner essence. Souls typically manifest in the form of an individual and vary in brightness, with brighter souls indicating greater power. As individuals grow in strength, their souls solidify, becoming more tangible.
The colour of one’s soul offers insight into their emotions and character. A dark blood red or crimson hue signifies chaos, particularly if accompanied by swirling patterns. Deep forest green suggests good intentions and a close affinity with nature. Red reflects rage and anger, while yellow denotes a peaceful spirit; a pale yellow indicates neutrality. The colour white is exclusive to The Root’s Ancestors, as The Root itself appears in radiant white.
Ancestors of The Root possess the unique ability to change their soul’s colour at will, often to blend in with society. In most races, young children’s souls reflect their favourite colour until they reach a certain age, typically around 8 years old. However, Surakan children retain their favourite colour until the age of 100-200 years.
Soul-Body Fusion
Soul-Body Fusion is an Ancient Technique of immense power, its secrets nearly lost to time with only Command and two deceased High Council Members having fully deciphered it within the current timeline. This technique involves the fusion of one’s soul with their physical body, resulting in a significant increase in physical capabilities and magical prowess.
Individuals who successfully perform Soul-Body Fusion experience a tremendous boost in both their physical and magical abilities. While some have achieved this fusion without formal training, maintaining it proves challenging without knowledge of the requisite techniques and requirements.
In rare instances, individuals unaware of Soul-Body Fusion may temporarily achieve it during moments of intense anger. In these cases, the individual’s soul manifests in the physical world inadvertently, granting them extraordinary power. However, Soul-Body Fusion is inherently dangerous, posing risks to both the individual and their surroundings. Nonetheless, it offers the potential to swiftly alter the course of a battle, making it a formidable technique in the hands of those who can master it.
[The pinnacle of physical and spiritual mastery, Soul-Body Fusion merges the practitioner’s soul with their physical form. This state grants unparalleled power and resilience, as the fused entity can transcend physical limitations. The fusion process is marked by the radiant glow of the practitioner’s blood and eyes, symbolising the union of spirit and flesh. This technique exemplifies the ultimate harmony between the corporeal and the ethereal.]
Soul Snapping
Soul Snapping is an advanced technique in which an individual deliberately snaps their soul back to their body after it has been untethered. Mastery over one’s soul is crucial for this manoeuvre, requiring a deep connection to one’s spiritual essence. Command, among the few adept practitioners, demonstrates this mastery by seamlessly reconnecting his soul to his body.
The act of snapping one’s soul back into place generates a powerful explosion, fueled by the immense energy required for the reunion. For beings of considerable power, this explosion manifests as a high-energy wave that surges toward them, obliterating obstacles in its path. However, executing this manoeuvre becomes increasingly challenging with distance, as the farther the soul ventures, the greater the difficulty in snapping it back.
