Mwahahaaaaaaa It sounds like it might break a few laws
- First law: Never take a life, self explanatory application
- Second: Never transform another: I got the impression that kemmlerite type "true magic" as infused by uber-bob was fueled by
(as was the
). Transforming their essence to energy could qualify as second law depending on interpretation.
- Third Law: Never invade the thoughts of another: Ok it depends on if the process imparts knowledge or could potentially be considered invasion
- Fourth Law, Never Enthrall Another:A soulless husk might be practically enthralled and could qualify. I think(if tv is to be believed) Some evil voodoo stuff for creating zombies involves stealing the soul and making the body obey because you have control over the soul.
-Fifth law, never reach beyond the borders of life. Ripping the fires of creation from someone and potentially interrupting the process of what that energy should go through could qualify... Ok it depends on your interpretation.
Ok it probably doesn't violate the sixth or seventh laws.. but hey how much fun can you expect from a single spell
. I'd probably allow it and say it breaks rules 1 & 2+? depending on how easy the kill is
Depending on how you decide a soulless husk acts, it might also be breaking the first & second laws along with possibly the fourth or fifth depending on the effect. If it kills, go with fifth... but probably not the first time*. If it leaves behind a soulless husk void of drive then definitely fifth.
*Tearing out the fires of creation & leaving them floating around to disperse/linger on their own instead of taking whatever normal process it takes is sure to attract
something's attention.Interrupting normal dispersal/recycling process is likely to cause
some kind of problem after it's done too often. Look up Guff of Souls sometime, there is plenty of religions that say the soul gets reborn/recycled though. I'm sure you can think of something fun and suitably fitting for your campaign.
