Basic Trope: A character collects souls by buying, stealing, or eating them.
- Straight: Jordan is a powerful Kenyan sorcerer who collects human souls.
- Exaggerated:
- Jordan converts people's souls into his own Fighting Spirit
- Jordan collects animal souls, insect souls, microscopic and alien souls.
- Jordan contributes to a large sorcerer's economy the runs off the purchase, selling, and consumption of souls.
- Downplayed: Jordan uses up most of his power to collect a villains soul in a surprising Heel–Face Turn.
- The consumed souls merely become less powerful but still continue onto the afterlife as normal but aren't eligible for any spirit positions which required greater power.
- Justified: Jordan's magic requires a steady diet of souls.
- Inverted:
- Jordan can restore people’s souls if they have already been stolen or consumed.
- Jordan has the arcane ability to replace someone else's soul with his own.
- Subverted: It was thought they were souls but scientists study it and find it is just bio-electricity, Jordan even dies in the exact same way as a 'soul' overdose after getting tricked into trying to drain a substation.
- Double Subverted: The scientests were only partially correct in that bio-electricity is also drained in the process. Attempts to subsitute electrical power for souls in magic or feeding prove lackluster.
- Parodied: Jordan collects an absurd amount of souls and decides to sell them as pets, food, and decoration to demons. African folklore demons seem to have a high demand for 8 year old dog souls...
- Jordan is infamous for stealing the bottoms of people's footwear.
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: Jordan does not have soul manipulation magic
- Enforced: The video game spin-off Tropia Chronicles Gaiden: Modern Egypt needed an excuse to show off their new particle engine. So they created Jordan, master of souls, to show it off.
- Lampshaded: "So many souls. Is he trying to crash the economy with these?”
- Invoked: The creator wanted to justify the use of overpowered Black Magic with an equally harrowing source of power.
- Exploited: A Dimension Lord promises Jordan a well of souls for his service.
- Defied:
- Marcy casts a protection spell to prevent The Hero and the rest of their party form having their souls sucked out
- Jordan finds an alternative hobby that can be done with his magical arts. Like a more advanced level of mathematics.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
