The Soul Flower is a plant used for soul 
production. Instead of dropping food or materials, it releases 
a soul upon harvest.

## Cultivation

The crop must be planted on **Soul Soil**. It requires a light level of at least 9 
to progress through its growth stages. Bonemeal can be used to accelerate its growth.

## Harvesting

When the crop reaches its final growth stage and is harvested, it triggers 
a death event that releases a soul. This soul can then be collected by any nearby 
soul-collecting blocks, such as the [Arcane Catalyst](@oritech:enchantment_catalyst_block) 
 or the [Spawner Controller](@oritech:spawner_controller_block).

    Soul Flowers are the only way to generate souls without hunting mobs, making them 
    essential for automated arcane setups.
