Nisus leaned back in his chair as he began to explain to Velar what he had found when examining the souls. ”I have not finished examining all the souls at the moment, what I have managed to find out about them is quite interesting. All the soul that popped up in Clover Forest does not have any knowledge of how they got there. They seem to have been sucked into some tare in space which brought them all to our world.

Each soul is completely different they all come from various planets, planes of existence, and alternate dimensions. Were ever all those souls were it scrubbed most of them clean of there plane coordinates, but not all of them making our loss of only 3 magi well worth it. Even if we had to kill off a thousand magi to get these souls the Eclipse Association would still prophet greatly.

My probing also shows many of the souls suffer from memory loss this partly reduced the size of there souls, but by not much, the size decrease is quite negligible. The amount of the soul's memory that is lost is not tied to the size of the soul. There are souls In that orb you gave me that are on the verge of extinguishing yet, still, they fully retain their memories. While another similar soul 40 times the size of the previous one I examined completely lost its memories it was unable to speak just scream incoherently every time I jabbed at it.

Another thing is that these soul are just like you said before parasitic. They require a host far more than regular wandering souls or they will completely fade away. As you already know a soul that has managed to stick around long after there death becomes wandering souls, wraths, ... ect they normally have no need to inhabit a body so they don't fade away.

I latter damaged a few of the souls to see how they would be able to heal that damage. I was not surprised that they were able to heal just like every other spirit type entity by consuming other souls. You know how difficult it is for a person to heal their soul if it's damaged don't you Velar”

Velar nodded at Nisus ”of course you could spend dozens of years to your whole life trying to repair your soul that's why magi take many steps to guard against such things. Spirit type entities have the easiest time repairing their souls. While there are spells that a mage could use to do the same thing even more efficiently none would do it unless they had no other options because of the potential corruption you would face. Even if you managed to burn away a soul's consciousness something would still linger around polluting you”.

Nisus agreed with what Velar said than continued ” these souls retain the ability to devour other souls even after they inhabit a body. If a soul inhabits a person's body and keeps doing that you know what's going to happen?”.

Velar looked at Nisus not stumped in the slightest by the question ” if a soul inhabits a body and keeps eating other souls while in that body they will explode. This happens because the soul grew too big to fast the body they possessed most likely would belong to someone weak without a strong body there is no way a big spirit could reside inside.

That's why magi increase there vitality as much as they can so they won't end up dying from there own power. If these things also just focus on only eating souls it would cripple any chance they had of advancement such a barbaric way of gaining power is fine when you don't have a body, but if they do that there just digging their own grave. Such actions are only Viable till they reach rank 3 I suppose”.

Nisus nodded in agreement again ”This would not be a problem for normal spirits but these are different they would still be bound to the first body they inhabit. Even if those souls managed to escape the confines of whatever or whoever they inhabit there would be little point unless its an emergency for them because the new body would most likely be too weak, or incompatibility since they would have already gained traits from the last thing they inhabited which would limit there next choice, or both.

When these souls possess a body they obtain full control the wounds they receive from non-magical weapons are negligible it only damages the vessel there inhabiting at the time. So trying to kill them that way will not work you need to use magic or chi the same thing warriors use.
