Soul Crystal
Device used to capture rising or falling souls, the first ingredient in manufacturing zarogoths.
Story so far
The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook entry on the Zarogoth spells out how they're made: souls are captured with a soul crystal as they rise or fall, the energy is rerouted through a corruption spell, and the mixture becomes an oil-like soup poured into a humanoid sausage casing.
The process leaves nothing of the person behind — the resulting creatures retain no personality of the fallen. They just come out sadistic.
Role
The soul-harvesting component behind the enemy's mass-produced ground troops.
Relationships
Zarogoth — Its souls are the raw material for them.
