A glowing, janky, semi-translucent chair.
It wasn't even that ugly. It just… didn't last.
He conjured one now, willed the soul energy into shape with that now-familiar golden hue, and watched it flicker into existence.
Four legs, backrest, even a fancy little swoop on the seat just for style.
"Not bad," he murmured.
Then he tossed it across the room.
The chair sailed maybe two feet before it fizzled like a wet sparkler and vanished in the air.
He exhaled sharply. "Right. The core."
That was the issue.
Soul constructs — unlike simple soul energy attacks — needed a continuous stream of energy to stay solid.
And for anyone trying to use soul energy, they acted like a glorified battery. The moment the link between them and the object was severed — poof.
Gone.
Sure, he could place a tiny core of energy inside the construct to keep it going, but that took way too long to be viable in combat.
