I've had too many private messages lately to reply to them all, so I've had to block them. I'm posting here to introduce the pain life soul.
Also, regarding the Major Guilds inviting us to join, I'll reply once I'm done with what I'm working on.
Now, on to the main topic.
You've all seen the introduction to the pain life soul's abilities. I'll mainly explain how it actually performs.
This life soul deals damage on two levels: pain feedback and mental impact.

Even if a Gargoyle activates its petrification form, Pain Touch can reach straight into its soul. Only your own willpower can resist it. If you can't endure it, your emotions collapse and your consciousness dies, killing you.
This is a secret art the old geezer developed specifically to counter the Dark Tide.
He said intelligent Evil Spirits are the key to controlling Dark Tide Evil. Even when he uses Pain Touch on ordinary Dark Tide Evil, the pain instantly travels to the intelligent Evil Spirit connected to it, dealing true damage regardless of distance.
It effectively decapitates the enemy command.
