Soulweaver is a unique element born from Nether that allows dragons to draw from the world's lifeblood itself, also known as spirit energy.

Spirit energy, or Soul energy, is the unique energy a living being naturally generates until its death. While Aether and Nether create life, Spirit energy keeps them alive.
It can be used to both give and take life, but also to affect other living beings.

Soulweaver dragons are capable of harnessing this misunderstood element in many ways, with the most expert ones capable of siphoning or saturating the spirit of other living beings, with the success depending on the targets' complexity and the dragons' mastery. This effect causes an imbalance within their very soul, and the target will be weaker, more sluggish, and vulnerable.

The only dragons that are not affected by oversaturation are other Soulweavers, but all Soulweavers are vulnerable to siphoning, which is why dragons of this element are taught to control their element as early as possible to prevent unfortunate accidents.

​

Soulweavers discover their element usually when they lose something dear to them. It is an element that is greatly fueled by feelings of loss and anguish.
It is not uncommon for hatchlings to have their favorite toys or friends taken away in an attempt to trigger their Awakening.

​

This element is primarily used via manipulation, but it can also be breathed in a few different ways, such as a torrent of spirit energy which will either help or harm a creature depending if the intention is to give or take their spirit.
They may also create a spirit garrote, which if landed correctly, will stagger an opponent and bind them, allowing the dragon to pull them closer for close quarter attacks.

Another breath ability is the condensation of spirit energy into orbs which will either seek out their target and hit them with saturation, or draw energy from them and return it to the user.

​

Manipulation oft consists of infusing creatures or even inorganic creations with spirit energy, even those that have perished, creating either Draugr or Ghouls depending on how this process was done, or Golems for targets which are inorganic.

For this goal, Soulweaver dragons may gather Spirit Gems, which grow naturally in the wild and aids them focusing spirit energy to power Golems.

Another manipulation technique is to create ghastly-looking limbs that replace lost ones, and act as if they were solid, mirroring the lost limb perfectly. They cannot create new ones however.
How long they can mantain the summoned limb depends not only on mastery but also on their own strength of Spirit, and for this, they tend to fashion Spirit Gems to act as batteries without exhausting their own mana.​

​

Soulweaver dragons have always been very few in population ever since the First War, having been unable to recover properly, especially since they are one of the most shunned elements.

​

They hail from the Mystic Reach, a land known for its very unique flora and fauna, and bioluminescent biome.
