No prefix because this is a generic question for many chronicles.

How does the system separates the different types of soul crystals? I mean how does the system know that For example Shillen Soul Crystal is for Weapons only,
Tersi soul crystals is for Armor only,
And Eva soul crystals is for Accessories only?

And by that then how does it understand that the item I am inputting is actually a Weapon and not an accessory?

Is there a similar file to Variation.xml of augmentation system but for soul crystals?

I searched in the client files (I know, I know, I know "we don't support client modifications here". Is for educational purposes) but couldn't figure out the difference between weapon soul crystals and armor soul crystals.


When I also searched the server files the only related file I found was in the "ensoul" folder but those where only to determine the "fees", "skill options" and the variants of "sou crystals" it wasn't clear to me as to how the system knows the different types of soul crystals.

I hope my question is not confusing, I am just trying to understand how the ensoul system works, what makes it tick.
