====== Souls ======

{{ rpd:images:soul_shard_item.png|Souls Resource }}

**Souls** is a unique resource for the [[rpd:necromancer_class|Necromancer]] class and its [[rpd:lich_subclass|Lich]] subclass. It functions similarly to mana for casting necromantic spells and abilities.

==== Description ====
  * **Souls** serve as the primary resource for the [[rpd:necromancer_class|Necromancer]] class, replacing the standard mana system
  * **Souls** are collected automatically by the Necromancer through combat and killing monsters
  * The amount of collected souls is limited, but becomes larger for the [[rpd:lich_subclass|Lich]] subclass

==== Acquisition ====
  * **Souls** are automatically collected when the [[rpd:necromancer_class|Necromancer]] defeats monsters in combat
  * The [[rpd:necromancer_robe_item|Necromancer's Robe]], worn by the [[rpd:necromancer_class|Necromancer]] class at the start of the game, grants 1 soul per each slain creature
  * Different necromantic items and abilities may affect soul collection or usage efficiency

==== Usage ====
  * **Souls** are consumed to cast necromantic spells and abilities
  * Special abilities of the [[rpd:necromancer_class|Necromancer]] class require souls as a resource
  * [[rpd:necromancy_spell|Necromancy]] spell uses souls to summon Deathlings and other undead minions

==== Mechanics ====
  * **Souls** are collected automatically and stored until used
  * The maximum soul capacity is limited but increases with class progression
  * When the [[rpd:necromancer_class|Necromancer]] becomes a [[rpd:lich_subclass|Lich]], their soul capacity is doubled

==== Classes ====
  * [[rpd:necromancer_class|Necromancer]] - Primary class that uses souls as a resource
  * [[rpd:lich_subclass|Lich]] - Subclass that increases soul capacity and power
