It's not the same as Black Mage, but with the WoL awakening its dark side upon touching the Soulstone, and Sidurgu telling you "to surrender your weapon and Soul Crystal" if you don't want to deal with the consequences of being a Dark Knight, it seems that without a Soulstone you can't be a Dark Knight.(10-12-2015, 03:03 PM)mongi291 Wrote: It seems to be required for Dark Knights too. I mean, the main character starts hearing the "voice in the abyss" and "Fray" is reanimated only after he touched the soulstone.
I mean, if you didn't need a soulstone, everyone would be a Dark Knight. xD
No, they wouldn't, because they still would need to be trained.
The only reason why the soulstone is "required" for Black Mages is that they literally burn from the inside out if they channel black magic without one.
That's it. Â You could easily make a case for not using a soulstone in pretty much every other situation. Â What makes a Paladin a Paladin isn't the soulstone - it's the training. Â What makes a White Mage a White Mage isn't the soulstone - it's the training and access to Succor.
Etc.
That's just my opinion anyway. I wouldn't argue with someone if they were a Dark Knight without Soulstone, but I decided to have Isaulde have one to avoid problems with the lore in the future (we didn't know black magic required a Soulstone until 3.0, after all).
