― Kūgo Ginjō to Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach)

"The power to dominate souls...? Is that what this is!?"

― Guido Mista on Chariot Requiem (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part V: Golden Wind/Vento Aureo)

"I need you to let me touch it. The human soul — it's pure... energy. If I can siphon some of that off, I might be able to bring Sam and Dean back."

― Castiel talking to Bobby about the power of the soul (Supernatural)

Capabilities

Users can freely create, shape, and control the soul/souls. The incorporeal and immortal essence of a living thing, souls are usually most obviously present in sentient beings. At some level all biological organisms have souls, and even non-biological entities (such as natural objects like rivers and mountains) possess something that is analogous to a soul.

Most users have to learn to control their own soul first and expand from there. Some may be able to learn how to tap into the essence of everything living.
