Souls are the incorporeal and immortal essence of a being. Every human and good magical being possesses a soul. When a being dies, their soul either becomes a spirit or is reincarnated.

Demons and other evil beings (except evil witches and some warlocks) do not possess a soul, however, it is revealed that they have some essence that seems to be equivalent to a soul, which is sent to the Demonic Wasteland once they are vanquished. However, Half-Demons such as Cole Turner do possess a soul granted by their human half. Living without a soul would make a person feel empty, though they can still choose to be good. The demonic Seer Kyra desired to become mortal knowing that she would ultimately not possess a soul, although according to the Encantadas, she in fact got one when she eventually turned into human.

Souls are valuable in the Underworld and are used as currency. There has been a lot of business with souls for demons. Souls can be contained in white glowing or flaming orbs or appear in spirit form.

  • Raynor, the leader of the Brotherhood of the Thorn, tempted Cole back to evil by promising him his deceased father's soul.
  • Cole Turner, while possessed by the Source, occasionally gained control of the Source due to his human soul and his love for Phoebe, allowing him to protect innocents and save the sisters, although the Source's influence was still too strong for Cole to completely resist it.
  • Demonic Infectors take the souls of their victims after their death because of their sins.
  • The Spirit Extractor is a type of demon that rips the souls out of humans, rendering them susceptible to demons' suggestions.
