Animite

Animite is a teal gemstone that glows blue when free of souls.

Animite has the uncanny ability to siphon souls into themselves upon the death of the target. There are three tiers of animite each with its own limitations pure animite crystals can take only one humanoid soul at a time with a range of 30ft., grand Animite crystals can contain one soul it can be a humanoid but it's meant to hold the souls of powerful entities like angels, demons, dragons, ect with a range of 60ft. void animite had no limit to how many souls it could hold with a range of 120ft.   Animite once full will change color depending on the creature's soul; humans and other humanoid races would make it gray, celestials make it white, demons make it black ect. Soul Stones are more than just a prison or battery through special points on the gem certain effects could occur to the soul inside like dormancy, agony, & forced extraction. Animite is difficult to break but not impossible if cracked part of the soul's essence seeps out and functions don't work, if the gem is shattered the soul escapes.

Animite can be found deep underground and in mountains in Zodia.

Animite came into existence when the Null-Father shed his tears on the cosmos when he went to Oblivion after the end of the Primal Clash.

Animite came into existence when the Null-Father shed his tears on the cosmos when he went to Oblivion after the end of the Primal Clash, these tears landing on many planets saturating in the earth. Mortals were wary of the gemstone due to it emitting sadness when touched but once it was discovered that it could attract & contain souls it became used by many interested parties.   Necromancers, Humans, Eidolons, etc used them to exploit the souls of the dead using it for many purposes as a battery, as a means of information, ECT. Animite remains used by mortals to this day though some find the gemstone unnatural and wrong.

Animite is used as a vessel for souls from there the soul can be used for a myriad of purposes.

Animite is adored by many civilizations regardless of the moral implications of using it; the eidolons & seraphim of old used them, avalonians & asgardians use these gems, as well as many other civilizations like Vanir and the swarm species.

Among necromancers and other people animite is used to place in weapons to absorb souls upon death.

Animite is often inlayed in weapons and armor to ensure the collection of souls.

Animite once the soul leaves the same gem can be used again to house other souls.

Animite is sold in the black market due to the malevolent trait of the gem. The market for Animite is high despite the gemstone being illegal, as souls hold potential.

Animite for the most part is illegal to possess for most people, although some civilizations have legalized the use of animite.
