Soul Shock

Soul Shock” was a spell that directly affected the soul. Archmage necromancers had a higher understanding of the soul, and could use their own mental strength to attack the opponent’s soul as a kind of surprise attack. Normally, a mage’s mental strength was far stronger than that of a swordsman or a knight. I n face of this sort of direct attack on the soul, they were still able to defend a bit with their mental strength, but swordsmen and knights had much weaker mental strength compared to mages, so they would be at a huge disadvantage in face of this sort of attack on the soul.
