"See, this is why badgers give everyone headaches. Why would you want a spatial quake to steal people's souls?"
"Because they're sparkly."
Karl shrugged. She had a point. If you sucked an Immortal Spirit out into the Chaos Plane, where a [Spatial Quake] originated, it really was sparkly, in a collection of colours that didn't exist in reality.
The black dragon clearly didn't understand, but how do you explain a colour that someone can't see?
"There are some spells that cause side effects that are worse than the intended effect. The ones that directly affect the Immortal Spirit tend to be among those. When an Immortal Spirit is shattered, the energy that is left over is not pure, and it generally can't be used by others.
Trying to use it directly is usually toxic, and can corrupt the recipient."
