Overview
A soul jar is a powerful magical item made to house a soul. Soul jars have been used before to capture ghosts or prevent resurrection of deceased characters, provided the soul can be bound before passing on to the afterlife. Goddess Avkwi's underworld Delhin used reaper-like beings to transport the dead in soul jars before releasing them into Delhin; Helena, upon death, was sealed in one, but her reaper died in transport and she was instantly resurrected when the jar's seal was broken.
There are also soul crystals (and a variety of other objects, usually made of glass or mineral), used most notably by Malystrics. Gim was a famous victim of her soul capture when he caused his own death in her presence, seen as ironic because in life, he would often capture souls to turn into minions.
Jacen's soul was stolen by evil god Kelius, but it's unknown how it was accomplished, whether by a soul-containing item, or by sheer force of will.
