Soulless
Being Soulless is the condition in which a physical body is perpetuated without a soul body. This is a common condition in Novice Wizards but is also caused by the overuse of magic.
Causes
The utter destruction or fragmentation of the soul causes this issue.
Symptoms
Becoming soulless is a horrific process. It starts by losing the memories slowly and the body detoriates to a lifeless hollow state where the eyes are shrunken, the skin grays and begins to flake away, the hair falls out and you eventually become a zombie like creature, capable of no thought or function, unable to rot, as the soul cannot leave the body if it is ruined. In a state of life between death.
Treatment
The only way to heal or bring a person back from this state is to transfer a soul into their body. It is impossible to heal someone completely from this, as magic is a system of exchange. It cannot be added to.
"The horrific moaning of the Soulless was too much for me to bear.
Dozens of the gray, lifeless bodies wandered the halls, roaming endlessly and for no purpose. They walked because its all they know. They once were all human, full of life, but they were no longer recognizable. It was horrific. It was unnatural. I wanted to avert my eyes, but I could only stare in pity and disgust."- The Journal of Jhahid Dhazal.
