Components:	VerbalVerbal: A verbal component is a spoken incantation. You cannot cast spells that require this component if you cannot act or speak. This has no gameplay applications in DDO, as all characters can always speak and there are no effects which prevent you from doing so., SomaticSomatic: A somatic component is a measured and precise movement of the hand. You cannot cast spells that require this component if you cannot move causing arcane spell failure resulting in a ruined spell. Spells without a somatic component may be used with disregard to Arcane Spell Failure chance. Note - that characters make the same arm gestures for most spells in DDO, so you can't tell which spells require this component by watching your character's animations., MaterialMaterial: A material component is one or more physical substances or objects that are annihilated by the spell energies in the casting process. You must have the required items in your inventory. If you run out of the components, the game will not allow you to cast the spell and will instead inform you of what component is missing.: Khyber Dragonshard

Description: Forces a creature's life force and its material body into a gem on a failed Will save. Although this essentially 'kills' the target, it is not a Death effect and functions on creatures such as Undead but not most Constructs. This spell requires a Khyber Dragonshard as a special material component. It is often helpful to cast Enervation on a target before casting Trap the Soul to reduce the creature's saving throw. Material Components 10 Hit Die version of the spell requires 1 Tiny Khyber Dragonshard as material spell component. 20 Hit Die version of the spell requires 1 Small Khyber Dragonshard. 30 Hit Die version of the spell requires 1 Average Khyber Dragonshard. Material components needed to cast this spell cannot be skipped with Eschew Feat. The Omnispell Stone item from the DDO Store does work in place of Khyber Dragonshards for all versions of this spell. The Stone of Change Eldritch Device will convert: 1,000 Fragments → 10 Tiny 100 Tiny → 20 Small 10 Small → 4 Average or 10,000 Fragments = 100 Tiny = 20 Small = 8 Average Note that items with the Trap the Soul (item enchantment) have no Hit Die requirement or material component. Material Component cost You can usually find 1 fragment for 1pp on the Auction hall. This is 1,000pp per Tiny Khyber, which can more efficiently be purchased at the Portable Hole for a haggle affected base price 100pp. Thus overall costs for your standard component supply (Stack of 1000) are: Tiny: 100,000 platinum Small: 500,000 platinum Average: 1,250,000 platinum Soul Gem distribution notice When in a group the soul gems you create by using this spell can be picked up by any member of the party. This should be considered before using this relatively expensive spell. See Also Soul Gems
