Dark Soul

The ability to possess a dark soul. Variation of Strong Soul and Other Soul. Soul counterpart to Dark Heart. Not to be confused with Demon Soul or Devil Soul.

Also Called

 * Black/Blackened/Corrupt/Impure/Tainted Soul
 * Soul of Pure Corruption/Darkness/Shadow

Capabilities
Users possess a soul that is either entirely devoid of light, or has been thoroughly corrupted to the point of enabling the use of arcane, unnatural powers not accessible to the pure. This soul often results in the user being driven to evil and chaos, but the user could, if adequately accustomed to the darkness, use it without descending into evil. This type of soul often causes the wielder to become adverse to holy or pure powers.

Applications

 * Apathy: Close oneself off from the hearts of others.
 * Corruption Empowerment: Gain strength from one's own corrupt nature.
 * Contaminant Immunity: To some heart related diseases.
 * Dark Arts
 * Good Immunity: Resist good by a heart of pure evil.
 * Inner Darkness Externalization: The user can control their inner darkness to many dark effects.
 * Powers Via Object - If object requires malice of heart.

Associations

 * Ambition Manipulation
 * Artificial Heart
 * Corruption Manipulation
 * Indomitable Will
 * Multiple Souls
 * Strong Soul

Limitations

 * May be incapable of good, even by their own volition.
 * May be vulnerable to Purification.
 * If purification is desired, it may be much harder than for someone with a Dark Heart.
