Properties

Property Details
Soul composition Source Matter is described as the substance that makes up souls: spirit preserved within matter, comparable to fragments of a soul. 6
Soul attribute In the Book of Destiny's classification, the attribute corresponding to Moon Phase is a person's Source Matter—the soul itself. 9
Memory retention Sufficiently active Source Matter can preserve a deceased person's deepest memory impressions. Of roughly seventy people whose deaths were connected to Huai Shi, only four or five left such usable impressions. 7
Ignition When ignited during alchemy, Source Matter produces a pure-white blaze and streams of light. 6
Derived material Tribulation Ash is a rare, high-purity Source Matter material extracted from phenomena of mass death and destruction. 12

Known Uses and Incidents

  • A black iron box held Source Matter described as “nearly a thousand people's worth,” accumulated through twelve years of farming. It was already empty when Fierce Ape obtained it, prompting a search for anyone who had handled the box. 5
  • Crow used ignited Source Matter in an alchemical process that created Event Branch, her unaligned Stigmata body in the form of a silver metal feather. 6
  • The Book of Destiny retains memory fragments connected to the deaths surrounding its master; active Source Matter determines whether a victim's deepest impressions survive in the record. 7
  • Huai Shi unconsciously combined fear drawn from death records with Source Matter leaking from himself to synthesize Tribulation Ash. Crow identifies this as a byproduct of his attributes rather than a Soul Ability. 12
  • Source Matter stored in a box was used to restore a ruined body, though the remaining quantity visibly diminished afterward. 14
