| rdfs:comment | - The Soul Cage was invented by Mordra to trap the Liche in Horance, so that the Liche Potion could destroy him. However, Trent, the blacksmith of Skara Brae, died in a fire before he could finish it. His ghost continued the work in Ultima VII, rather fruitlessly until the Avatar helped him to overcome his rage. When it was finished, it was bathed in the Well of Souls. Now empowered it could be used on Horance the Liche during the Black Service to trap him. It was destroyed, after the potion took effect, dissolving into dust.

You can use a bonus action to drain vigor from the soul and regain 2d8 hit points. Query Soul. You can ask the soul a question (no action required) and receive a brief telepathic answer, which you can understand regardless of the language used. The soul knows only what it knew in life, but it must answer you truthfully and to the best of its ability. The answer is no more than a sentence or two and might be cryptic. Borrow Experience. You can use a bonus action to bolster yourself with the soul's life experience, making your next attack roll, ability check, or saving throw with advantage. If you don't use this before the start of your next turn, it is lost. Eyes of the Dead. You can use an action to name a place the humanoid saw in life, which creates an invisible sensor somewhere in that place if it is on the plane of existence you're currently on. The sensor remains for as long as you concentrate, up to 10 minutes (as if you were concentrating on a spell). You receive visual and auditory information from the sensor as if you were in its space using your senses. A creature that can see the sensor (such as one using see invisibility or truesight) sees a translucent image of the tormented humanoid whose soul you cased.
