Using This Book
This book is divided into a few sections:
Chapter 1: Soul Crafting introduces
the concept of soul items and
discusses how to craft, awaken, and
destroy them.
Chapter 2: Soul Items is a vast catalog
of 170+ soul items, divided by
creature type and then sorted
alphabetically by the name of the
creature soul used in crafting.

 Souls and Summoned Creatures
As a rule of thumb, creatures conjured or created by spells are purely magical and
have no soul to capture in a soul gem. Naturally occurring versions of the same
creatures, however, can be captured: for instance, a skeleton created by the animate
dead spell can’t be captured, but a skeleton raised by a haunted house or a cursed
graveyard can be.
The intent of this rule is to stop characters from conjuring creatures just to capture
them. If this doesn’t seem to be a problem at your table, you might rule that there are
excep-tions to this rule. For instance, a treasured familiar might develop a soul through
its bond to its caster; similarly, an Undead being created by a spell might eventually
gather enough soul energy from its victims to have a patchwork “soul” of its own.

10 feet of you. The battle spirit has an
appearance similar to the one it had in
life, but is only an echo of its true self:
it has none of its old memories, person-

is visibly supernatural and can’t be
mistaken for an ordinary creature of

Regardless of its form or identity,
the battle spirit uses the Battle Spirit
