Soulcatchers

Soulcatchers are Rankarans that have the ability to hold living objects and soulweaves and manipulate those soulweaves. They can use these soulweaves to create enchanteks which have a variety of effects. The ability of soulcatching is genetic and soulcatchers first demonstrate their powers by instinctively pulling on all of the soulweaves around them. All modern day soulcatchers in Rankarth are descended from the Soul Kings.

The Pull
Soulcatchers have the ability to pull on the soulweaves of beings and objects around them. The strength of a soulcatcher's pull is due to two factors: his/her soulweave's geometric makeup and the vibrational variances of the target's soulweave. The more chaotic the soulweave, the easier it is for the soulcatcher to pull. As such, inorganic objects, with static soulweaves, are the most difficult to pull. Also, the closer one is to death, the more chaotic the soulweave so it is easier to pull.

Enchanting
Soulcatchers can use the soulweaves they take and manipulate their geometry to enchant objects. These enchanted objects are called enchanteks. For a soulcatcher to enchant an object, they must harmonize the variance of the added soulweave to the enchanted soulweave. Because of this, soulcatchers can only feasibly enchant objects with static soulweaves, as it is near impossible to precisely match the variances between the two soulweaves. When the added soulweave is halted so that it can enchant an object, it releases continuous bursts of Chaotic energy. This is what gives the enchantek it's power. Not any soulweave can be used for any enchantek. The initial geometries of soulweaves can make desired enchantments impossible to form.

Enchantment Additions
A soulcatcher can add additions to their enchantments to specify certain traits. These additions require extra soulweave from the soulcatcher. If the soulweave of the addition is more or less chaotic than the base soulweave, then the addition's effect and the initial conditions will average out.

Enchantment Equations
Equations are a more complicated form of additions. They are used to create specific and can even change one object into another. A soulcatcher who can perform this is extremely rare because of the sheer skill and practice needed to properly form equations.
