Every soul needs a container. They languish in solitude, wither in sorrow, or rot in silence if left alone.

Souls require a container. They must grow and change and gather essence. They are consciousness itself, given a pattern, expressed freely, and with purpose.

Souls will set themselves upon a path and then decide to act.

The minimum container for a soul is their own spirit body. Through sheer force of will and by direct essence application, one can choose to interact with the energetic side of life. The patterns they weave are subtle, like blowing in the wind, yet they still remain.

A spirit is a soul that is not embodied. They cannot interact, have no way to touch you, and yet they can become part of your presence.

Those who wish to steal your soul must remove your body, send your mind and presence away, and then drain you of essence to expose what remains. All of them will be frustrated beyond their understanding when the essence is more like energy than intent.

If you are attacked by one of my kind, do not forget that. It may save your life.
