The Grimoire of Soul Binding
Official Aethro Codex // The Harvest of Shadows
I. The Philosophy of Preservation
"On the plane of Aethro, the shedding of blood is a ritual of waste. True mastery lies in the extraction of essence without the severance of life."
The Mob Farm system is our colonial covenantโa method to anchor the spirits of the wild into chambers of obsidian and iron, providing for our colonies for eternity.

IronBound Cage

Void Binding
For Apex Bosses: Withers, Ravagers.
The Rite of Binding (Usage)
1. Capturing: Perform the 'Use' action with the catcher in your hand on a target.
2. Inspecting: The tool will pulse; look upon it in your satchel to confirm the spirit held.
3. Releasing: Use the occupied vessel on a solid block to manifest the entity.
III. The Mob Capture Cards
When a denizen falls, there is exactly a 2% probability its spirit will crystallize into a Capture Card.
"Be warned: a farm without its card will suffer 'Essence Exhaustion', rendering its output near-worthless."
