Category:Soul Stones

A soul stone is a bit of a misnomer. It does not actually contain a soul within itself. Though, it was once believed to capture souls and as such, was considered to be cursed (and some still believe in this legend). A soul stone is, in fact, a crystal that has been imbued with very, VERY powerful magic. Furthermore the larger the crystal is, the more magic it can contain. Some wizards use soul stones to help enhance their powers, enchant weapons and even summon/create creatures/monsters. Soul stones are often considered very valuable as they are very difficult to make. Only an arch mage has strong enough magical powers to seal the magical energy within a soul stone. In addition, the magic sealed within a soul stone is drawn from lay lines of the land. The most powerful soul stones are created where two lay lines meet. This is because the meeting of two lay lines creates a sort of high energy vortex.
