Quotes / Soul Jar

"I couldn't ask you to fight witches with a fragile body just like a normal person's. A Magical Girl's old body is nothing more than a piece of hardware. Your actual soul is kept in a much safe, compact form that is capable of controlling magic much more efficiently. It's part of my job, when I complete a Magical Girl contract, I removed your souls and changed them into Soul Gems."

— Kyubey, Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Flemeth: So refreshing to see someone who keeps their end of a bargain. I half expected my amulet to end up in a merchant's pocket.
Hawke: No-one wanted to buy it. Maybe because it had a witch inside?
Flemeth: Just a piece. A small piece, but it was all I needed. A bit of security, should the inevitable occur - and if I know my Morrigan, it already has...

— Dragon Age II

Atop a small wooden table he laid out a blue cloth embroidered with the Star of Chaos and the Eye of Tzeentch, and then set down the canopic jars that held the dust of his undying guardians.

The darkness in the land was far older than the empire: since before remembered time, the lands had housed a great demon - a twisted, maddened entity known as Kupala. This abominable thing rested within the deepest caverns of the Carpathian Mountains; removing his black, gangrenous heart so that he could not be slain by anyone who did not posses it, he entombed it in the lightless depths beneath the forested Carpathian foothills.

So I will prepare a book, which is a map to a weapon. And my vanquisher will read that book, seeking the weapon, and they will come to understand me, where I have been and where I was going. And then they will take up my weapon, and they will use it, they will use that weapon, which is all that I am.
And armed thus with my past, and my future, and my present (which is a weapon, a weapon that takes whatever is available, a weapon bound to malice), they will mantle me, Oryx, the Taken King.
They will become me and I will become them, each of us defeating the other, correcting the other, alloying ourselves into one omnipotent philosophy. Thus I will live forever.

—Oryx, the Taken King, Destiny, on the Touch of Malice rifle

Within that casket lies the only hope of destroying that cruel monarch of the Hollow Hill. Therein is her one fatal weakness. It alone can bring an end to her immortal life and that is why, waking and sleeping, Rhiannon is fearful. For this is what Smith saw, that evil day in the deep places of the earth when he turned the enchanted key and lifted the glittering lid. This he saw and the memory freezes his bones still. Inside the box, pulsing and beating by loathsome craft - was Rhiannon's very own heart.

—The Wandering Smith, Thorn Ogres Of Hagwood

Abithriax: The Council had become afraid of me. I was too famous, too powerful. So in the last months of the war, once victory was guaranteed, they sent me to my death.

Alex: How did you do it?

Abithriax: My fateweaver. All our generals carried one, but the craftsmen were never able to stabilise the design. They were always... unpredictable. But I learned the secret of investing myself into it, binding my identity into it a piece at a time, and as its power grew, so did mine. It was almost a part of me. Perhaps that was how I was able to make the final leap at the very end...

—Fated
