 ====== Soul Slay ======
-**Soul Slay** is an important Combat spell, one of the more-important ones to look out for. It's a [[research|Level 5]] [[Thaumaturgy]] that requires {{path>S3}} and (unless you're under-leveled) consumes no [[Gems]] on use. It's effectively a more-impactful ??Mind Burn??, with permanent consequences.

 Like with ??Mind Burn??, the target suffers nothing if their [[Magic Resistance]] wins out against their foe's Magic Penetration in a [[DRN]] roll. It also doesn't work on the [[Mindless]]. On the other hand, if it works, the target is **immediately** killed. This is no ordinary kill, for it splits the target's mind from their body down to a spiritual level; the target **stays dead**, even if they had extra lives, and even if they possess (up-to-that-point) working [[Immortality]].

 ===== But What About My Pretender? =====
-Oh, [[Pretenders]] can still be recalled. Apparently faith can fasten minds back to their bodies. On the other hand, they will lose a point of [[Dominion]] or a [[Magic]] level as normal, whereas this wouldn't happen if they came back through their immortality. There is a **soul slayed** [[Affliction]] that may-or-may-not stay with them (FIXME), but that's just a marker for peeking at the Immortal normies in the Hall of Fame, to remind the audience that they will stay dead. Immortality starts functioning again after the soul-slaying is overcome.

 ===== But What About My Air Queen? =====
-Oh, Unique [[Summons]] can be re-summoned as well! It's no big deal. I don't know who they have that reattaches their minds to their bodies for free, but they do a decent job.

 ===== Is Soul Slay Unique? =====

 Unfortunately no; some [[items]], two [[Doom Horrors]], and at least one [[pretender-chassis|Pretender form]] can soul-slay in melee. On the bright side, Soul Slay is the easiest and most-prevalent method of spooking Immortal foes. Make of this what you will.
