Phase Spider Venom
Phase spider venom is a viscous, clear liquid that can be siphoned from the corpse of a phase spider, a dangerous and vicious creature native to the jungles of Rieyama.
These spiders were first spotted 2700 years ago in the decades approaching the Convergence, as areas of Rieyama began to become flooded with darker magics.
In the time before the Yuan-Ti, these and various other magical creatures began to push the human inhabitants out of Rieyama, letting the magic fester and darker forces enter.
Now, phase spiders are rare, but still deadly if one was to come across them in the wild. A single sting by a phase spider queens tail can disrupt the divine connection between a mortal's physical body and their soul, and her children feast off of the cold, soulless corpses of their victims.
Mechanics & Inner Workings
If a mortal was to consume this venom or have it enter their bloodstream by coating a weapon with it, one's soul would be ripped from their body, leaving it lifeless. If there is no primed containment unit to catch the soul such as a Phylactery or Soul Jar, ones soul would simply flow into the ethereal plane. An individual killed through the killing blow of a phase spider can not be brought back via a resurrection spell, due to the severing effect.
