If a Deva dies near witchoil, does their soul get sucked in, halting the reincarnation cycle? Or does Srasama's affect on their soul make their souls immune to the witchoil, and they just reincarnate as usual?
Just finished The Dying Skyseer. One of my players died during the fight with the bleak golem - and since the death occurred near witchoil, his soul was sucked in. After much discussion with the player and the group, we decided we wanted to bring his character back. So I wrote a vivid description of what it's like to have your soil sucked into witchoil, and how difficult it is to extract a soul so entrapped. The characters managed, with difficulty, to have their compatriot resurrected.
Now this resurrected character has some extremely personal feelings about the horrible evil of witchoil! And my players are all exploring very difficult questions about the nature of souls. One of my characters is a Deva, so the players are asking questions about how witchoil affects a Deva's soul.
Is there an official answer?
