That Which Makes the Mortal
Souls are the person itself, what makes the body move, that which activates the brain. without a soul, a body is but a husk, empty, alive but without a person inside. The soul is the personality and the mind.
Different souls have slightly different colours, this is caused by personality and lifetime experiences, they shape who you are, and they can paint your soul, this colour is never positive or negative, it's just an imprint of your life. At birth, a soul will always be a faint blue
Souls
There are different types of souls, the most common being a normal soul, the souls of mystic and corporeal souls are slightly different but close enough. Animals and plants also all have souls since they are alive and all of these souls would be called clean, clear, or light souls. Even most monsters will have a clean soul.
Tainted and Corrupted souls are things that can happen to a soul, tainted being not quite corrupted.
A soul can become tainted simply by being exposed to great abuse or foul magics, this state is often temporary and acts as an in-between state between a clean soul, and a corrupted soul. a tainted soul doesn't have to become corrupted though. If proper action is taken it can revert back to being clean without too many difficulties, even after death.
Once a soul has become corrupted, this is much more difficult, a soul becomes corrupted pretty much always due to magical means, often due to dabbling in foul magics, or occult rituals.
Dark souls are souls that have been altered beyond recognition. some souls are born dark, like certain vampires or werewolves, other souls are made dark, due to them having been altered by one of the Ynue. This is very rare tho.
