Soul Ring

Biodata

Power Progression

Characteristics

Soul Rings are obtained by killing and absorbing Soul Beasts. Their age, attributes, and compatibility with a Soul Master's Martial Soul determine their value and the abilities they may provide. A ring's age is treated as a major factor in a Soul Master's potential and upper limit. 5 9

Absorption can be dangerous: the residual energy and will of a powerful Soul Beast may assault the recipient's body and mind. Lin Ming endures the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear's violent remnant will while absorbing his second ring. 10
