OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The Lapis Animus began through a moment of Hunger.
When the Sith known as Darth Metus clashed with adversaries above Maramere, a grievous blow was struck. A sibling was lost, and in that moment He was able to perceive the beyond. Rather than mourn, Darth Metus took from the bounty of eternity - devouring a portion of the very afterlife. For years, the honored dead were imprisoned within, serving as fuel for his sorceries. In the present era, He rent a portion of this bounty apart and fashioned a boon for his successors. Thus, the Lapis Animus came to be.
Beginning as a Kyber, the influx of Darkness and literal souls bled the crystals. Now crimson, each was empowered with the ability of containment. Each became a new prison - and thus the power of eternity could be passed on to the worthy. When wielded, the souls are an incredible source of might. So much so that sorceries become exceedingly more potent.
However, despite the potential, the Lapis Animus are mundane creations. Unlike a proper, mortal vessel, souls are unable to be contained indefinitely within. They are naturally drawn to eternity, and thus began to slip out of the containments. This causes a noticeable degradation in the stone's potency. Should the stone go without usage, full degradation can take many months - even years. Average usage can see degradation after a few months of consistent use. Future wielders have the option of supplementing this loss with their own strength...or by refreshing the pool with fresh souls.
