Ok so explanation about how souls,monster biology,magic,trait magic and ink's vials work in my version
--------------magic and determination--------------
*monsters are made of magic manisfested into physical form,the reason monster souls are weaker than human souls is because part of their magic is used to maintain their bodies while humans dont need to do that
*Magic is weak to the excess of determination which is why monsters' bodies melt when they have too much determination
*Determination is the lifeforce of every human and monster (even those without souls) that runs through their veins
*Magic+determination=life
*Funfact: in my version determination's color is not red,its gold,hope is red based on @zenodreemurr post and an theory i discovery through reddit user symphatetic_stranger
-------------------------Souls--------------------------
*souls are made of love,hope,and compassion
*souls act as an heart for monsters species who dont naturally have one,pumping determination and blood
*every part of the soul is linked to an part of the monsters body,If the soul is hurt the monster will feel pain in the area of their body corresponding to the area wounded in their soul
*to draw blood,attach an iv,give an vaccine etc to monster species like skeletons the needle is put on their soul
*to eat,monsters like skeletons who dont have throats simply chew the food that is then digested by magic on the cranium and then transported though the veins to the soul
*in my verse skeletons dont have ecto bodies. Gender assigned at birth is determined by magic but monsters of any sex can create children with any other monster
-----------------------Soul traits-----------------------
*Every trait has an feeling associated with it,if someone consumes or comes into direct contact with an traits magic they will experience the feeling associated with the it and their soul's main trait will be temporarely changed to the one they came in contact with
inspired by @lonelylizard431 rant (yes in my verse Ink's vials come from trait magic)
*Every soul has a bit of every trait but one will usually be present in larger quantity and that will be soul's main trait and the one that defines the soul's color
*a dying soul will eventually lose its traits and disappear unless its stored safely but monster's souls deteriorate much faster
Also i dont have any personal relationship with anyone mentioned.i asked for permission to Zenodreemur and Lonelylizard but i think Lonelylizard left Tumblr and this explanation is already overdue so i choose to just credit her
