Mounting and Binding Beast Souls

If a player wants to use a soul component with another hero, the player will be prompted to first unbind the component from the original hero. Unbinding will only appear in this situation.
Multiple soul components can be bound to one slot for the same hero.

Soul Refining

Soul Refining Effect: Raises a component’s attributes.
Refining Costs: Soul Crystals & Gold
About “Quick Refine”: When a player has enough material, he or she can tap on the “Quick Refine” button to refine a component all the way to the level where evolution can take place. For example, a soul component at +3 will be refined to +10 when “Quick Refine” is used. If a player does not have enough material, then using Quick Refine will just refine the component to the highest level possible.
Max level for Blue/Purple/Orange components are 20/30/40 respectively.

Soul Evolution
Soul Evolution has the following functions: raises soul component attributes, raises max refining level, unlocks Beast Skills 2 and 3, and raises Beast Skill level.

Beast Skill Rules
Activating Beast Skill: Gather two soul components to activate the 1st skill. Gather 3 components and evolve them once to activate the 2nd kill. Gather 4 components and evolve them once to activate the 3rd skill.

System Plot Overview
System Name: Soul Warding
Plot Summary: In ancient times, the Magic Rush continent was home to many Beasts guarding over its various parts. In the Final War, they used the source of their life force to seal away the evil that was threatening the land. Although the beasts are no more, their spirits which represent the source of their powers have survived through the ages, spread throughout the world. Instilling the spirits of these beasts into our heroes will allow the heroes to call upon the power of the beasts.

7 Great Beasts:
Frostfire Dragon: Phaestus is a golden dragon living in the northern glaciers of the continent. He loves objects that shine and glimmer like his scales, and his home is filled with untold treasure. But, since his lair sits at the opening of a volcano in the middle of an uninhabited dead zone, no man has ever been there and lived to tell the tale.
As warriors of the dragon clan, Frostfire dragons have the mightiest bodies, and when in battle, their dragon blood provides them with endless power.

Giant Behemoth: The Behemoth is said to be a child of Mother Earth, believed to now take the form of a giant rock in the center of the earth. He has a stout frame, with a body like steel, but also a calm temperament. His sturdy skin is like a shield from the gods themselves, making it next to impossible to harm him. As the stoutest of the beasts, the Behemoth was the personal guardian and favorite sparring partner of the young god-emperor.

Immortal Phoenix: In the age of gods, to the east of the Magic Rush continent there lived a pair phoenixes who were in love. These divine birds possessed innate magic, able to soar through the heavens on wings of fire or eradicate evil with weapons of fire.
Then one day, during a conflict among the gods, the male phoenix was tricked and betrayed the gods, for which he was cast out of their heavenly court to perish. The female phoenix was grief-stricken, and she implored the gods to resurrect her lover. In the end, the capricious gods decided to give them a punishment disguised as a blessing: to turn the female phoenix’s divine powers into the power of immortality, and then for the two phoenixes to take turns living and dying and being reborn.
So, from their birth, each phoenix devotes its energy to stoking the fire of immortality and hastening its death, so that its counterpart can be reborn sooner. This is why a phoenix’s body will always bear signs of scorching flames upon it, and why you should keep your distance from one even if it takes a liking to you. You would not be able to withstand the heat.

Holy Unicorn: A pet of the Lord of Light, the unicorn is a snow-white winged horse. Due to its kind heart, it received the favor of the Lord of Light and become the Lord’s emissary. In several cleansing rituals, the unicorn also assisted the goddess of pure maidens, and under the goddess’s guidance, the unicorn was initiated deeper into the mysteries of the Light, thereby causing a holy horn to sprout from its head and bathing its whole body in holy light.

Soul’s Nightmare: The Nightmare was also once a holy winged horse, serving the gods by cleansing battlefields of fallen souls. This prolonged experience with cleansing allowed him to study souls with increasing depth, and his eyes were opened to the gods’ true purpose for cleansing souls: to confine them and to absorb their faith. After this realization, Nightmare was wracked with guilt and decided to save these piteous souls. Slowly, he distanced himself from the Light and began researching and using more direct Soul Magic and Dark Magic to totally free these souls. However, excessive use of Soul Magic caused his coat to burn with soulfire, and use of Dark Magic caused his body to become gloomy. His secret was finally revealed to the gods, and Nightmare was exiled to the Abyss.

Fierce Griffon: The Griffon was one of the guardian beasts of Mt Olympus, endowed with divine strength from birth and unmatched speed in the air. But once the Griffon accidentally absorbed the power of the divine weapon, Thor’s Hammer, arousing the ire of the gods and getting exiled from the mountain. Afterwards, he was found by the young god of war and became the war god’s constant companion, galloping through battlefields together.
The Griffon revels in his brute strength and crashes into battle at unrivalled high speeds. Later he also mastered Thor’s power, multiplying his destructiveness ten-fold.

Underworld Hydra: The Hydra was once of the ruler of the boundless ocean, and each of its nine heads has a different ability, giving him awesome power. Due to conflicts among his nine brains, he often rages under the ocean, causing the heavens and the earth to shake. Poseidon could no longer bear it, and joined forces with Hades to overwhelm the Hydra and drive him into the Underworld Abyss. In the underworld, the Hydra gathered all the power in his nine heads to knock a hole between the underworld and the Magic Rush continent, paving the way for his arrival. In the end, for fear of further punishment from the gods, he lies dormant in the shallows between the land and the ocean deep.
