Questions on soulstones.

[PvtFrog]

So another question on soulstones. Correct me if I'm wrong, soulstones are basically a person's soul stored into a stone. If the person using the soulstone dies, his friend or whoever is close by can activate the soulstone to bring him back to life. So basically my question is, would you be able to use the soulstone on somebody other than the guy who made the soulstone?

eg. Person 1 has a soulstone on them. Sadly, his whole body is burnt into crisp. Person 2, his friend takes the soulstone and uses it on a random bystander. Bystander now has Person 1's soul in them.

Is that possible?

[FlyingSquirrel]

Don't think so, as the 2nd soul would have nowhere to go.

[Aphetoros]

No, because the soul would reject the body. Also, Bystander has to be dead, of course, either way. I don't think such is possible.

edit: the reason for this is this. The brain is a great receptor to bind the soul in. It's familiar to the corpse and that's why it can be used in necromancy to bind a soul to. Binding a soul to a different body is extremely hard because you have to force it into the body, and sometimes that causes... bad things.

I was curious because apparently, in a way this happened to Arthas and Ner'zhul though it wasn't through the use of a soulstone. So I'm not sure if their case counts.

[Aphetoros]

Oh don't even compare, sooo sooo sooo different. SOOOO DIFFERENT. That was... a one time thing, basically.

[BountyHunter]

Ner'zhul was contained in armor made by Nazthrezim which means that it was incredibly powerful as the helmet itself has the power to control the Scourge in its entirety. Soulstones are nowhere near as powerful.

Plus, Lore characters get UNLIMITED POWER potential at the cost at never being able to Rez!

[PvtFrog]

So it's a definite no go? Or is it in the gray zone?

[Binkleheimer]

No go.
