Background
Soul Manipulation is the supernatural ability to affect, control, or manipulate a person's soul, often regarded as the essence of their being. This ability is commonly depicted in various forms of fiction, typically as an offensive technique.
This power usually functions under the assumption that most beings have souls, and those without one are immune to many of its effects unless otherwise specified.
Applications
Soul Manipulation can take several forms, including:
- Soul Extraction: The ability to pull a soul from a living body, often resulting in instant death.
- Soul Absorption: The ability to absorb another's soul, usually to gain power or knowledge.
- Soul Destruction: The ability to obliterate a soul completely, ensuring that the individual cannot be resurrected or continue to exist in any form.
Difference Between Soul Manipulation and Spirit Manipulation
- Essence vs. Vitality: Soul Manipulation deals with the core essence of a person (their personality, emotions, and identity), whereas Spirit Manipulation focuses on the animating life force or consciousness.
- Individual vs. Universal: Souls are tied to individual identity and often survive death; spirits are more about life energy or the connection to higher, divine forces, and can manifest posthumously as "ghosts."
