The soul rune is a catalytic rune. It is used for various Magic spells, such as the teleport-other spells, and the Seren spells in the Ancient Magicks book.

They can be crafted at the soul altar accessed from Menaphos Imperial district after completing the quest 'Phite Club with a level of 90 Runecrafting. Alternatively, they have a chance to be crafted when using the Ourania Runecrafting Altar which has no level requirement.

They can also be bought from the Wizards' Guild in Yanille, Ali's Discount Wares in Al Kharid (after completing the On a Rune High achievement), or Baba Yaga, who lives in the walking house, on Lunar Isle.

The runes can be claimed from the wicked hood provided it has been fed a soul talisman or tiara first.

Creation

The mechanics of crafting soul runes vastly differ from the standard runecrafting process. The soul altar must first be charged by depositing pure essence into the charger. 4 essences generate 1 charge and give 10 Runecrafting experience. 5 charges can be used to create 12 soul runes. This means it takes 5 essences to make 3 soul runes. The experience gained is 220 per charge or 91.7 per soul rune crafted.

The charger has a capacity of 100 essences, after which they must be converted into charges. The altar can hold up to 100 charges, after which they must be crafted as runes.

To maximise the experience gained, the 250% experience boost from the Abyss (thus the demonic skull too) applies to the runecrafting step. Up to 100 charges grant 22,000 XP, which can be further multiplied by 2.5 to 55,000 XP by binding a fully charged altar to at least 240 soul runes.

Trivia

• Before the release of Menaphos on 5 June 2017, soul runes were the only conventional type of rune that could not be crafted using a normal Runecrafting altar. The only way to craft soul runes was by using the Ourania Runecrafting Altar.
• Upon release of the soul altar, soul runes were mistakenly listed as requiring level 90 Invention to craft, instead of level 90 Runecrafting.
