Soul Mage Origin

Once a villager is unlike others, the player can choose the Soul Mage origin and use souls for things other players cannot. Killing mobs gathers souls, and the primary ability spends them to levitate and to stop fall damage. Each second of use consumes one soul. Sneaking while aiming at a creature with a bare hand places a curse that costs 5 souls, and a toolbar activator fires a beam once 10 souls are collected.

The origin also lets a player revive after death, but only while the stored soul count reaches its maximum. The secondary ability draws on souls continuously, making the player stronger for a time before leaving them tired. Holding collected souls takes a toll on the body, so the player deals 25% less damage and has fewer hearts than a normal human. Villagers, wandering traders and similar figures fear the Soul Mage and refuse to trade with them.

Soul Mage Origin requires Origins. The server must run it, while players may add it without being turned away. The mod is published for Fabric and as a data pack for 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, and its latest Fabric file, 0.0.2, targets 1.20.2.
