Can a Wizard's Powers be Stolen or Taken permanently?
Zaphodess:
But Kravos was a ghost and Corpsetaker at least planned to consume plenty of ghosts for her version of the Darkhallow.
I'm confused ...

? corpsetakers dark hallow? What the wraiths? Ah, seems something slightly different goes on when pure spirits absorb other spirit/memories. Not sure what she was gonna do that was specifically like the dark hallow, Was she gonna eat the wraiths for a power? was it Halloween? Plus, all that power spirits have isn't any more permanent than Kravos'. It fades away as it is used up unless it is reconnected via memory gathering like Sir Stuart.
That makes the soul what in this equation? Change/growth? soul+memory=life?

I was thinking about her plan in Dead Beat, not Ghost Story. But it fits too.
In DB, she whipped up lots of spirits to be consumed. She even went to the trouble to acquire some ancient Native American artefacts to attract the right spirits. I can't imagine she would have gone that way if the energy gained was only temporary.

Oh, the darkhallow would have instantly killed everyone for miles around and the 'suction' would have slurped up all the ambient energy. Including all those newly dead and parting souls. This is why the more people who died the more potent the hallow would become. The spirit/memory itself are what is fed that energy. So the older spirits would have a deeper impression. Soul and spirit must match in equivalence? idk on that. Now I have questions instead of answers, thank you ;)
Although thinking critically, life is what's needed, not death per say. Just nobody has all that extra life to match extra memory/spirit all on their own. River shoulders, maybe?
