Changes

First located in the universe of the [[Darkness EntityOrthogonal Reality]] by the unnamed brunette woman[[Cristina Thompson]], the Soul Reader is a multi-dimensional device that is typically perceived as a book or diary. It would appear this perception is by design, as it ensures an operator requires no special training to operate the device, and also prevents damage to the operator due to the multi-dimensional properties of the device. The Soul Reader is capable of causing severe brain damage through improper use, such as attempting to interpret information that is too complex for a normal human mind to handle.

When interpreted by the [[Regret Demon]] a full depiction of the device caused instant near-lethal damage to [[Danny]], which was only undone by threatening the [[Regret Demon]] with activation of the device. This depiction was then reinterpreted by the unnamed brunette woman [[Cristina Thompson]] while inebriated to create a crude sketch of a mechanical device which appears to consist of a large number of sharp serrated blades, cogs and pipes.

When activated, [[File:Soulreader.jpg|left|thumb|Cristina Thompson's sketch of the device creates an interface between the user and a target soul, whether Soul Reader in its physical true form is alive or dead. Apparently considered to be a monstrous creation by an extinguished [[Sentient Flame]] which was interrogated by the unnamed brunette woman, the device apparently can cause significant pain to the soul being interrogated, and will force the soul to divulge information whether it wants to or not. Human souls do not appear to experience any discomfort when read by the device.

The Soul Reader may have originated fromWhen activated, or passed through the universe containing device creates an interface between the [[Dreamer On High]] prior to being found by the unnamed brunette woman in the [[Darkness Entity]] universe. A half-wilduser and a target soul, crazy individual who was speaking gibberish (potentially due to damage from the Soul Reader whether its physical form is alive or Dreamer) hurled what appeared dead. Apparently considered to be a journal book through the portal being generated monstrous creation by the an extinguished [[Dreamer On HighSentient Flame]] and some enslaved which was interrogated by [[BrownshirtCristina Thompson]]s immediately prior , the device apparently can cause significant pain to the Dreamer's demise, however this has not yet been confirmedsoul being interrogated, and will force the movements and origin of soul to divulge information whether it wants to or not. Normal human souls do not appear to experience any discomfort when interrogated by the Soul Reader largely remain a mysterydevice.

Although its origin is unknown, the Soul Reader was first located by [[Cristina Thompson]] in the [[Orthogonal Reality]]. On departing the [[Orthogonal Reality]] to [[Danny]]'s universe, Cristina then lost the memory of acquiring the device, later believing she had retrieved it from the universe of the [[Darkness Entity]]. The Soul Reader also has the ability to remain attached to an individual, modifying their memories and actions to prevent them losing it. It can however be knowingly passed to another individual, to which it will remain attached until handed on. Since its retrieval by [[Cristina Thompson]], the Soul Reader has since been passed on by to [[Danny]] , who has passed it to [[Conn Thompson]], who has . Conn then used it to read the story of [[Vasiliev Blaku]], and plans .  [[Conn Thompson]]'s plan to use it to extract the truth from [[Ward Shaw (The Sword)]] regarding [[The Crushing Fist]]however resulted in unusual behavior of both the device and [[The Sword]] himself, with the Soul Reader displaying jumbled text followed by 'CRITICAL FAILURE'. Further manipulation of the Soul Reader resulted in a powerful multispatial discharge from the device, along with emergence of the corruption within [[Ward Shaw (The Sword)]], typical of members of [[The Black-eyed Army]]. Deactivation of the Soul Reader caused the corrupted element to recede. This appears to have been caused by the presence of a [[Purple bio-stone]] within the spine of [[Ward Shaw (The Sword)]]. The Soul Reader appears to be designed to prevent its own loss, altering the perception and behavior of the user to avoid its loss through neglect, forgetfulness or deliberate disposal. It is capable of reconfiguring its structure to free the user's hands when required, typically re-positioning itself around the forearm of the user. Similar to the [[Orthogonal Reality]], the exact mechanism of operation appears to be linked to conscious and subconscious command of the user. Currently the only known way for the device to be transferred from one user to another is for it to be given and willingly accepted by the other person, or for it to be consciously taken or stolen by another person.
