Activating a Soul Crystal is actually quite simple. In the world of Soul Refiners, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of ways to do it. While the methods vary, they all lead to the same result. The most crucial step is to find the frequency of the Soul Power within the Soul Crystal.
The frequency within each Soul Crystal is one-of-a-kind. This holds true not just for Soul Crystals from Profound Beasts of different grades and attributes, but even for those formed from two nearly identical Profound Beasts of the same grade and attribute. The Soul Crystals they leave behind after death are subtly different. Although their Soul Power frequencies are extremely close, there are still minute variations.
Finding this frequency is the most difficult step in activating a Soul Crystal.
An average Soul Refiner will typically identify the general range of a Soul Crystal's frequency, then use their own Soul Power to make repeated attempts at activation.
