NOVEL NEXT Chapter : Power of the Soul
Soul Style relies on the limitless energy of the soul. For a mortal to utilize this power, they must bond to a soul coal or risk their bodies exploding do to the raw power. There are five categories of Soul Style with five color coordinated pieces of coal:
Elemental (Blue): bounding with a blue coal allows control over the powers of nature. Ex: Earth, Fire, Wildlife, Wood
Universal (Red): a red coal allows control over the fundamental powers of the universe. Ex: Gravity, Electromagnetism, Time, Radiation
Body (Gold): the gold coal allows manipulation of the body and any elements found within. Ex: Skin, Muscle, Blood, Oxygen
Aura (Silver): bounding to a silver coal grants control over psychological concepts and abstract essences. Ex: Willpower, Violence, Empathy, Thought
Papuru Magic (Purple): a purple coal allows manipulation of the energies produced by the Papuru Star to produce magic, without the standard limitations of normal magics.
Bonding to a soul coal requires continuous contact with coal piece for 111 days, upon which a mental door within the subconscious will manifest. This door can be reached through deep meditation and will transport the user to the location where they will develop their chosen abilities.
The powers learned are accessible as long as user keeps soul coal close to their person. If coal is destroyed or seperation is made, all powers and access to training grounds vanish until another coal is bonded to. Soul Style has enhancements and abilities commonly shared among all users. They are referred to as Base abilities and are permanent, even if the coal piece is removed or destroyed. Base abilities can be honed through training and its effectiveness varies per the individual.
