There are orbs with powers that can't be expressed through one word without sounding dumb anyways (like the Time Stop orb... I don't like how Chronostasis sounds at all ¬¬)

To know how many years of practice someone had, you just n*n+1/2, where n is the number of orbs. For 45, that would give us 1.035 years. Since no one practices the Ethereal Arts 24 hours a day, multiply that by 3 so that's 8 hours of practice a day (just like a 9 to 5 job) and we get 3.105 years. Add 22 (that was the arch-villain age when it received it's soul) and you get 3.127 years. The Orb of Regeneration grants it's wielder eternal youth and the Orb of Immortality grants... Well, immortality. Logically, the Regeneration one would suffice, but I split it's function in two so I could make use of the Age Without Youth trope.

Well, the Endless Soul is... Endless '-' No matter how much GG fragmented his soul and seeded into sapient beings or how much souls ended up reuniting with him, his soul will always be endless and, as such, he will always be equally omnipotent. So, the fragmentation took no toll on him. The reason why the First Soul never went through that apathy/indifference phase that Dr. Manhattan did or that Lawrence would without Mindshifting was because he lived with the Great Guardian for a time. "In front of infinity, one and one million are equally infinitesimal". The First Soul has enough power to destroy the Road and create it anew at his image (and much, much more), but if the Great Guardian wanted, the First Soul would cease to exist with the same amount of effort a vermin would cease to exist if the Great Guardian wanted it. Knowing these facts made the First Soul relate to all sapient beings despite being impossibly superior in power, because all of them were equal before their creator.

The soul only function is to practice the Ethereal Arts. The will to practice it comes from the soul in the first place, not from the mind like all other wills. Your question does make sense and is right concerning all the other souls... But with the Soul of Ether, it's different. While to all other souls, the practice of the Ethereal Arts is an option, to the Soul of Ether is it's nature. So it practiced it without body, mind or soul, breaking the logic applying to all the other souls.

I couldn't figure out how to make a thread. Could you make one for us and link me to it? Thanks in advance :D
