What is a ritual spell like the one Milli had exactly? Is it just a name or is there a mechanic difference from the regular spells.

Is there a method of removing soul-binding from skills/items?

I call bluff and counter with a theory. The powers of one soul increases when in a heightened state, such as Oversoul Mode. If and when we ever Oversoul, we must use our Second Shift.

That... Or they feed off the souls of enemies when they are killed by it. Murder souls ho!
Let's test this.

What, exactly, does it mean to clear a level?
Aside from checkpoints and the obvious single staircase or whatever between levels, how many methods are there of going between levels?
Is the game-linking system still potentially a thing? If so, what types of games are eligible?
What universes can potentially get crossovers with this through the Arena or mercenaries? Marvel/DC multiverses? Disney Animated Canon? The Wormverse?

1. It means the level is cleared.

2. There is a third way to go between levels, but it's not exactly ideal.

3. No.

4. I'm keeping it to the source material Warrens parodies: video games. Anything that crosses over will have originated in video game form. No Buffyverse.

Ask the robot with the ritual staff. Seems like he'd know.

Yeah, but I doubt it'll ever happen.

Well, I'm amused by that answer. Now for a serious one: what happens to a person's soul star when they go illborne, or become something else such as a willborne or what have you?

Does the video game have to be the original material? Does it have to be a major source of stuff, or well-known?

For instance, is Jurassic Park: Trespasser a potential source of stuff? How about Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing? How about one of those little fan video games?

Is there a particular reason each persons soulstar does what they do? As in are they related to the owner? Or is it just based on whats most convenient to gameplay?

You must gain a Max level(+5) in a skill to gain a new class skill. Requires a Stat Block, and 5 stat points for a new skill.

1. Yes. 2. No.

You'll see popularity/source bias because I grew up with Nintendo games as a kid. It's what I know inside and out. Not everything, but a lot of it. Warrens, even outside of the crossovers, is very heavily influenced by those games. Ciro's rant about block puzzles was based on nothing in-world but very directly influenced by Legend of Zelda. It's something probably anyone who has played those games would understand.

Is there a particular reason each persons soulstar does what they do? As in are they related to the owner? Or is it just based on whats most convenient to gameplay?

Each soul star is completely, deliberately intended for the person who "owns" it. As for what that entails exactly, can't say.

Well, I'm amused by that answer. Now for a serious one: what happens to a person's soul star when they go illborne, or become something else such as a willborne or what have you?

It's obvious to anyone with a brain at this point that I'm just bullshitting or evading every legitimate plot-relevant question.

1. Yes. 2. No.
So, video game adaptations of other things can't show up? Darn.

He ships FifthxSixth but is aggressively anti-ThirdxFourth. Thus the desync. This means nothing yet.

It would mean something if we knew what the sibling order was.
