While shades is flexible the dominate monster power is more unique and that's just cooler to have. I'm not sure of what would fit the sword theme for a native power boost since the approved alterations will let me use captured souls for other things once I eventually go get some. Between the sword and the adjustments (thanks again to those who helped me figure it out) the power/combat/flexibility boost is already petty high.<br/><br/>My main next things to try to acquire are finding some way to scale the corpsecraft explosion DC instead of having it be static and to get healed by negative energy but I don't think either of those fit the sword theme. I should go on a hunting trip myself to get a soul reserve at some point and I need to categorize and list my corpse storage.<br/><br/>Oh! Actually that gives me an idea that works with the native power boost! How about if Anasil takes someone's soul the sword pulls the corpse into the well of darkness in stasis and lets Anasil retrieve it for use later when she wants. It would provide a nice corpse storage/gathering/containment method on the road.
