Category:Soul Gems
Soul Gems are a type of ingredient that is typically obtained by capturing a monster's soul using the Trap the Soul spell. Soul gems may also be created by items with the Trap the Soul enchantment or Trap the Soul Guard. Non-living constructs, such as iron defenders and golems, do not have any life force, and thus do not produce Soul Gems; however, undead do possess life force, despite also being non-living.
Since Update 50, the number of hit dice a monster possesses no longer affects which Soul Gem they drop; Weak and Strong soul gems no longer drop. (Previously, Strong Gems dropped from monsters with more than 20 Hit Dice and were used to craft Unbound versions of shards; Weak Gems, from monsters with less than 11, were totally useless.)
There are now 28 Soul Gems, 22 of which are useful. Most of these are used in Cannith Crafting to craft Bane shards. The Stone of Change Adamantine Rituals use Soul Gem: Essence of Earth. Soul Gems can be stored in Small or Medium Soul Bags.
