Soul Ring

Biodata

Power Progression

Function and Rules

• Soul Rings determine a Soul Master's Soul Skills and influence the future development direction of their Martial Soul. Once absorbed, a Soul Ring cannot be replaced 5.
• A ring's energy can raise the absorber's Soul Power and temper their body, but the amount of advancement depends on the ring and the user's capacity 8 22.
• Absorption can damage meridians and expose the user to a dead Soul Beast's remnant consciousness within the Spirit Sea 8 21.
• The commonly accepted limit for a first Soul Ring is slightly over 400 years; attempting a stronger ring is considered potentially fatal for an ordinary level-ten Soul Master 5 8.
• Black Soul Rings represent Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings 14 15.
