One common cause of SLUDGE is exposure to organophosphorus insecticides (including parathion, malathion, and diazinon) or nerve gas, such as sarin. These agents phosphorylate acetylcholinesterase, thereby irreversibly deactivating acetylcholinesterase and raising acetylcholine levels and causing SLUDGE.
Every stone grants different abilities to its owner. The Infinity Gems (previously known as Soul Gems) are some of the most powerful artifacts in the Universe. Each one allows its owner complete omnipotence over one aspect of the universe: time, space, reality, mind, power, and soul. When all six are directly wielded together, nothing is impossible for their bearer.
Souls snared in black soul gems can be of any type. However, unlike standard soul gems, they can encapsulate the souls of humanoids. There are many methods by which souls are trapped in black soul gems, the most conventional method being the Soul Trap Conjuration spell.
