Since there has been mention of Death's Shards, I copied [@Rtron]'s sheet for them into the wiki so you don't have to dig through the Character tab to find them.

If you know how to use Astartian Magic, a whole world of possibilities opens up :p, you could do magic so powerful that you could defeat an entire army on your own or erase a city from Galbar. Such powerful magic is normally unattainable, but by sacrificing a few souls you can make it happen. Luckily, there's a procedure called "kidnap orphans and suck their souls out" that one can do to obtain large quantities of pure souls :)

It had better be a lot of souls to obtain magic powerful enough to nuke a city. Souls aren't exactly rare.
