The MC has miss named them 'Soul marbles' when the pale green bead is the actual soul. The marbles are the consolidated castoffs the soul sheds before it returns to Living.

Natural raw marble (left after de-rez) ch 8

• Dull grey marble 
• formed from unclaimed silver and part of the shed grey dust 
• wont form if all the silver is claimed by either a large amount of gold ribbon or black sludge
• can appear with swirls of lighter grey (caused by factors like speed during coalition, amount of silver vs grey, and outside interference)

Just sludge zapped marble ch10 

• Silvery grey marble is formed with bandes of clear and silver
• zapping the black sludge produces more silver 

Electrical processed ch11

• pushing electricity through a grey marble leaves clear crystal veins.
• converts grey into clear crystal
• clear crystal is electrically less resistant than grey
• blue ting added with higher voltages
• blue maybe a hint to other affects to be discovered   

Zapped raw marble "eat voltage you goblin poop!" ch11 from tank Beatle getting zapped

• electrocuting or "zapping"  dureing de-rez leaves silvery grey marble with clear bands and black and gold flecks
• 
  

Concepts

Black sludge (miasma) : vulnerable to magic, becomes black flecks in marble, converts to clear crystal (unknown if becomes same the type of crystal as silver)

Silver particles : experience or power. catalyst to form marbles, hardens and appears as clear crystal

Gold ribbon (divinity) : unchangeable by most magic, becomes gold flecks in marble, can be manipulated to form shapes. highly magic conductive

Magic in the After-life is very different that in Life

After-life 

• Magicicles are found in their aspected forms in appropriate locations ie water aspect in rivers 
• Unaspected Magicicles are only found through the Phantom forest. lowest speed, highest charge,high stablity, chaotic spin
• no free Magiciles are available. Magicicles only exist inside of a appropriate medium ie under roads, inside an after life body
• Life spells do not work as there are not free magicicles to catalyze

Life

• unaspected Magicicles are free floating. medium to high speed, medium to low charge, multiple spins by geographical region
• can found in various density, charge level, stability and aspect or non aspected 
• Magicicles can only be stored in a living creature through a specific medium ie monster cores
• Magiclicles are extremely damaging to living creatures if internalized and not held in a medium
• most Spells are cast by using stored magic to catalyze external magic to form an effect. 

Magicicles 

 Magicicles have many different properties beyond the aspect know to your apprentice mage. Full mages look to speed and charge. Master mages contemplate stability

• Stability : Magicicles are mercurial and can change properties. Stability is a measure of probability that a given Magicile will change  
• Speed : just how fast is that magicicle moving relative to you? Speed is mostly tied with the density of magiciles in a area (but which is the cause and which is the effect?) . There hasn't been a observed speed limit. (maybe 
• Neutral (Unaspected) magicicles : the base state of the magicicles, can be used for any type of magic with a corresponding loss of efficiency
• Ground magicicles : Slow, stable, usually found with mid to high charge, spin in a common "stream" will have closely matching spins.
