Welp, I'm back, hello all.
So for this crt I'll be dealing with SOUL stuff.
I just wanna mention this at the start though, originally this CRT was also supposed to have stuff about SOUL being the mind of bugs too however the Collector came in and cucked me, I am mentioning this cause I just need it to vent at this rate because that is days of work gone down the drain. Though if there is a soul less broken than I, yeah there is evidence out there, maybe I will make a CRT later down the line once Silksong is full out, but not for now
First up, SOUL also being the life force of living beings in Hollow Knight
So anyone that can manipulate SOUL also gets Life Manipulation as SOUL is also the life force of living beings
Next up are some resistances
Soul Sanctum enemies gain resistance to Mind and Biology Manipulation as they could withstand the infusion of SOUL that came with the Soul Sanctum's Experiments, which caused these
Higher Beings and higher being descendant beings such as the Hollow Knight and Hornet gain resistance to Mind and Biology Manipulation as they are above the Soul Sanctum folk and can focus without any adverse effects as seen with the Knight, Pure Vessel, and Hornet in Silksong while the Soul Sanctum’s experiments ended in failure when they tried to replicate the pure focus they have.
And lastly limited resistance to Soul and Life absorption for all enemies that don’t already scale to the above resistances as they are seemingly unaffected by the Knight's attacks which drain SOUL.
That should be everything, see you all in part 3 where cover void stuff and lose my mind for the 3rd time in a row.

And here SOUL is stated to be the thing that animates the bodies of bugsFor Hornet, silk and soul are inseparably bound, her life-force fused with her thread

And though the Mistakes and Follies we can see that the experiments related to SOUL caused the deformation of the body of these bugsIn my dreams I could see it. The Kingdom's salvation, the cure for the plague... the answer was in the soul that animates our bodies.

The Unfortunate product of many of the sanctum's failed experiments, these bugs' bodies have been warped and deformed beyond recognition.

Once a highly intelligent bug, deformed by the misuse of soul.

Once a highly intelligent bug, inflated by the misuse of soul.

While we can see that the other enemies are not like the, even their dream nail dialogue is more legibleThese fools meddled with the soul of other creatures and lost their shape. Now they skulk through the shadows of their Sanctum like slugs, hoping their old brothers will build them new bodies.

Record Aba
The mind still limits us so.
How to break past its constraints?
To attain a pure focus, is it even possible?

Are these bizarre machines used to harvest soul from some bugs and inject it into others? How cruel…

Higher beings, these words are for you alone.
Your great strength marks you amongst us. Focus your soul and you shall achieve feats of which others can only dream.
