Line 97:
* The importance of the soul in ''[[Mage: The Awakening]]'' means it gets a fair bit of attention. Besides describing what the soul is (the source of inspiration, will to live, curiosity, empathy for others, and sense of connection to the world) and the effects of its loss, the soul is also the basis of magic, and manipulation of the soul can be used to gain powers. The soul is also the basis for an individual's Mental World, which contains worlds which personify their personality, experiences, and dreams, and is inhabited by [[Anthropomorphic Personification|beings]] such as their daimon (personification of their desire for self-improvement, and personal criticism) and goetic demons (personifications of vices and flaws). Individual souls are also connected to the soul of humanity as a whole, and the earth itself.
* ''[[Vampire: The Requiem]]'' introduced the Egyptian flavor in the Mekhet clanbook with the option of "Hollow" Embraces, wherein a person is Embraced after they're already dead. Thing is, their Ka has already been wandering around for a while, and it gets ''pissed off'' when it finds out it's going to be shackled to this plane again. Hollow vampires can't appear in reflections or on tape, and their voice doesn't carry over the phone; the Ka gets all that, and if it's not properly sated, it will use those abilities to terrorize the vampire and turn people against it.
* Souls in ''[[In Nomine]]'' are made up of three kinds of "Forces": Corporeal, Ethereal and Celestial. Corporeal Forces control how fast/strong you are in the physical world; Ethereal Forces how intelligent you are, and Celestial Forces how perceptive you are and how strong your willpower is. The total number of Forces in your soul directly corresponds to how powerful a being you are (mortals generally have 5, average Celestials have twice that, and Superiors are defined by having "many"); the ratings of your various forces combine to generate various secondary attributes.
