You attempt to capture the soul of a dying or recently dead creature. Target a creature within range that died within the last minute. The creature's soul must make a Charisma saving throw (using its original modifier). On a failed save, the soul is drawn into the empty soul gem you're holding, filling it.
A soul trapped this way cannot be resurrected by any means short of wish or similar magic. The filled soul gem can be used to power devices, sold, or consumed for various effects (DM's discretion).
Ethical Warning: This spell is illegal in most Domains and considered deeply evil by many cultures. Using it may have severe social and moral consequences.
