The uniqueness of V's situation is the fact that he has multiple splices going on at once, from each of the three fiendish races' domains.

Naw, that was Soul Trap, I believe. She was going to imprison their conscious minds and souls into a permanent gem and carry them with her for all eternity to forever punish V. That's in the Player's Handbook, right in the Spells page.

EDIT: Actually now that I look she says "Bind their souls to me," so I'm not sure what she had in mind.

A soul splice is a completely different and, unless I'm mistaken, isn't even anywhere in DND. I think that it, like the Dashing Swordsman or Greater Mark of Justice, was made up because it appealed to Burlew for a plot device. It apparently entails splicing a powerful soul with a willing human to feed them incredible power, but the details are shaky because this is Burlew's invention.

She was probably just going to Magic Jar them. I think that's what the spell is called, anyway.

Grabbed my PHB. It is not Magic Jar, as that allow you to put your soul into something and go do other stuffs. Soul Bind, however, is the aforementioned spell, considering she was going to kill them by eating them and then do the spell. That means it's Soul Bind, as Trap The Soul requires a living target.

if I recall she said she found a unique spell specifically for the task. So probably something he just made up

She didn't say that.

"I will then bind their souls to me with two necromantic scrolls I have acquired for this purpose."

To someone unfamiliar with D&D, that might sound like they were unique.

D&D-style scrolls are essentially magic in a can, for those not in the know. Just add water.

New OOTS is up.

V is totally screwed.

Tsukiko's Xykon doll is equal parts disturbing and awesome.

Yes.

Tsukiko is awesome. Xykon plushie! Slippers!

fakeedit: "Goblin please"!

Panel 8 reminds me of something. Also, I'm glad V appears to be keeping the new hairstyle.

I wonder how long it will take to squeeze some information out of the squishy elf wizard? Redcloak's already had plenty of practise with O-chul, and I'd be surprised if he doesn't consider that V might know something out the Gate ( sans-Splice, he might even recognise her as being part of the Order).
