Bind Soul [two-actions] Spell 9

Legacy Content

Uncommon Evil Necromancy
Source Core Rulebook pg. 320
Cast [two-actions] somatic, verbal; Requirements black sapphire with a gp value of at least the target's level × 100
Range 30 feet; Targets 1 creature that died within the last minute
Duration unlimited

You wrench the target's soul away before it can pass on to the afterlife and imprison it in a black sapphire.

While the soul is in the gem, the target can't be returned to life through any means, even powerful magic such as wish. If the gem is destroyed or bind soul is counteracted on the gem, the soul is freed. The gem has AC 16 and Hardness 10. A gem can't hold more than one soul, and any attempt wastes the spell.

Locate Spell 3

Uncommon Concentrate Detection Manipulate
Source Player Core pg. 341
Cast 10 minutes
Range 500 feet; Targets 1 specific object or type of object
Duration sustained

You learn the direction to the target (if you picked a specific object, such as “my mother's sword”) or the nearest target (if you picked a type of object, such as “swords”). If the target is a specific object, you must have observed it directly with your own senses. If it's a type of object, you still need to have an accurate mental image of the type of object. If there's lead or running water between you and the target, this spell can't locate the object. This means you might find a type of object farther away if the nearest one is behind lead or running water.

Heightened (5th) You can target a specific creature or ancestry instead of an object, but you must have met or seen up close the creature or ancestry you want to target.
