Soul Stasis

Pillars ringing the chamber pulse with cold divine energy that snares the very soul, dragging at any spirit-bearing creature foolish enough to stand among them.

Stealth +33 (master).

Disable DC 43 Arcana or Religion (master) to reweave the magic within each pillar, DC 46 Thievery (master) to disable each pillar, or dispel magic (8th level; counteract DC 43) to counteract each pillar.

Pulse [Reaction] (divine)

Routine (4 actions) This trap loses 1 action each turn for each disabled pillar. Each pillar uses 1 action to emit a 30-foot-radius burst of inhibiting energy that slows souls. Each non-psychopomp creature with a soul in the area is slowed 1 unless they succeed at a DC 43 Fortitude save.
