Subject: Abyssal Monstrance Destruction
Nephilpal - 08/04/2004 12:32:41

Ok, my understanding is thus:

1) If you kill an Abyssal, her Essence flees, working its way back to
the home Monstrance it is attuned to. The Deathlord may use this
power to create a replacement. If there is no Monstrance to which it
is attuned, the Essence wanders in a confused state and may be
poached by other Deathlords. The higher soul of a slain Abyssal
always falls into Oblivion unless she has magic preventing such. The
lower soul almost always lingers as a hungry ghost.

2) If you throw an Abyssal's Monstrance into the Void, the Abyssal is
killed by sympathetic resonance. Her higher soul falls into Oblivion
normally. The Essence no longer has a cage to return to, which means
it can be poached.

The main reason that Deathlords don't use this trick as a way to
execute wayward deathknights is not that it will decrease the overall
numbers of Abyssals, but because they then lose certain control of
the wandering shard.
