    Sounds a little like the fantasy novel Warbreaker, where the “soul” can be used to give life to non-living objects including corpses.

      In setting that’s different from the soul itself. Biochromatic breath is part of the spiritual plane, but it’s a piece of Endowment, not the spiritual aspect of the person who has it.

        Yeah but there were entire cultures that thought of the biochromatic breath to be their soul while others simply saw it as a kind of currency or fuel for their magic system. The world is very rich with different beliefs over the same thing.
