soul gem
Captured essence vessel
A soul gem is a magical object in fantasy games and fiction that captures and contains souls, typically used to power enchantments or spells.
The concept is most associated with the Elder Scrolls video game series, where players trap the souls of defeated creatures to charge magical items: I need a filled soul gem to enchant this sword.
Soul gems often come in different sizes corresponding to the power of souls they can hold.
