The phial must be held to the lips of a creature as it dies and for one minute thereafter in order to fill the container. Once filled, simply perform a ritual as normal, and as the final act open the phial, rather than using a sacrificial creature. Souls will only remain bound within the phial for one week, after which they dissipate. A lesser phial can hold a creature of up to five hit dice, with the more expensive versions increasing that limit to fifteen hit dice and, finally, unlimited hit dice for the greater phial.

The phial is concealed in a slot in the armour designed especially for this purpose. It requires a DC30 spot check to notice the hinging for the phial. The armour will magically resize itself to fit the creature to which it is given. This armour detects as if it had the invulnerability enhancement, rather than the soultheft enhancement.
Moderate necromancy; CL 9th; Craft Magic Arms and Armour, magic jar; Price +1 bonus.
Rod of the Ritualist: A magical rod, the Rod of the Ritualist is a metallic, presumably silver, shaft about three feet in length, and topped with what can only be the design of a hip joint. Further examination reveals that the whole item is in fact moulded to look like a thigh bone, although given the length of the object, it has a strangely distended quality about it, one that is vaguely unsettling to the touch. The holder of the rod gains the ability to determine the health of all creatures within 60 feet that he can see as per the deathwatch and status spells. In addition, any time a creature fails a Grasp the Lifeblood save against a ritualist holding this rod, they are brain-locked, instead of any lesser effect. This does not apply to undead creatures.
Moderate necromancy; CL 7th, Deathwatch, Status; Craft Rod; Cost: 3,000gp.
