== What exactly do souls ''do'' in ''Dark Souls''? ==
== What exactly do souls ''do'' in ''Dark Souls''? ==
Souls are described as being the currency of choice in Lordran, while coins are in general useless, but why exactly is this? Souls were traded in ''[[Demons Souls]]'' because they allowed a mortal in Boletaria to remain sane (to some degree) in the wake of the soul-devouring demons, but no such justification seems to exist here. Do they have a similar function in preventing the Undead from turning hollow? Is it because the Lords took to trading souls between themselves for goods and services (which would have some [[Deal With the Devil|dark connotations]]), and they thus became became the official "minted" currency? Do souls act as a kind of [[Applied Phlebotinum]] in the use spellmaking, smithing, and crafting? Or what?
