It is said that Soul Eating / Spirit Eating rituals or abilities merely prey on the Focus of the entity, instead of expunging it from existence. (As far as I remember, I might be wrong.)
1- Isn't that just a more vile way/alternative way of exorcising in the end?
2- Are there any consequences to exorcise through Soul/Spirit Eating?
3- Assuming there are no consequences, what makes it better or worse than normal exorcism?
4- What method 'actual' Exorcism uses to accomplish its goal of releasing a spirit/soul from its binding? (I.E, through Mercana and/or faith, through a specific type of magic made for it, etc.)
5- How easy it is for a Hexer or someone trained in Dark Arts to perform anything like that? Do they require a complex ritual or can it be done as easy as 'reaping and consuming Focus with the flick of a hand and a mean word'?
6- Do Mechanations have souls? It makes sense for them to, since they come from a tree, and all. But just in case?
