Soul Consumption (Divine, Evil, Necromancy) The spirit of a creature that dies from damage dealt by the pyrogeist's Pyrokinetic Whirlwind is trapped within the pyrogeist as if subjected to the effects of the bind soul spell. This effect persists until the pyrogeist is destroyed or chooses to set the soul free. The spirit remains trapped whether or not the pyrogeist is using Pyrokinetic Whirlwind. A pyrogeist can contain only one soul at a time in this manner. Extinguishing the Spectral Flames Putting a pyrogeist to rest permanently often requires a ritualist to perform burial rites with at least some fragment of the pyrogeist's mortal remains. Because what's left of a pyrogeist's living form has most likely melted beyond recognition, it can often be difficult to locate. Pyrogeists can sense innately when what lingers of their mortal forms has been disturbed, and often attack without provocation to quell the threat. When a pyrogeist is finally laid to rest and the appropriate sacraments have been performed, the pyrogeist fails to return to and no longer terrorizes the site of its death. ",
