Death

When a person dies, their Soul begins to rapidly break apart. They can be revived, but the window to do this before the Soul's degradation becomes irreversible is very short, a minute and a half to be exact. After this point, revival is entirely impossible. The degradation can be prevented by placing the soul into a Phylactery or a Soul Jar.
When this happens, a small fragment of the Soul travels permanently to Somnium, eventually coalescing into a Soul Leech. It is possible for the parts of the Soul to remain together, but fractured, resulting in the appearance of a Ghost.
