I need help so this will work. There's someone I need to get rid of and I want something that will work. I know i'm not strong enough to make it work just yet, but can anyone help me so that I can make my powers stronger or strong enough for it to work?
You cannot collect someone's soul nor can you get rid of them. You can always bind them or banish them from your life so that they may stay away. In fact, if they want to mess with you then you can sprinkle salt at their feet without them noticing to make them go away. That may even work. No one has "powers". Being able to do magick is something that takes practice and experience which anyone can have and do.

"Powers" are born of awareness and Will. They are not super powers as is commonly conceived and viewed.
As was originally being explored in this post, a soul is far more complex than simply being an aspect of someone that can be taken away like an object, or trophy. It is the collective whole of that individual's identity.
It is easier to define in the terms of lesser spirits, because they very much set within specific roles and their entire identity is based within that role (generally speaking). Greater spirits (demons, angels, some fae, etc.) are so great as to have much broader identities, that can take a lifetime in some cases to fully grasp and understand.
Human beings, as well as most other living things, possess spirits much like these greater spirits, that are not wrapped up entirely within the one lifetime but expand far beyond this into what may be many lives, existences, or generally the greater whole of that spirit's existence. What's more, a living thing is constantly growing, facing new things, and changing, so the identity, Will, and so forth that creates the soul is forever evolving.
So then how do you take away someone's identity? How do you take away such a complex and layered and ever changing thing? And even if you do so, how do you keep it?
Things of this nature simply do not work like this.
Slightly off topic, but the word "powers" in relation to the arts is vastly overrated. Each time I hear a person say it, I want to tell them they make the arts look bad, but end up saying "Abilities" based on it sounding less pretentious. Worst thing is, I originally saw the word on religious tolerance .org who is suppose to defend us and make us look better. Just my thoughts.

Even if you could do such a thing, why would you think you have the right to take something that personal away from somebody? Just banish them, be it through spell or literally telling them to leave.
If thats realy what you want to do then you should!: 1. Gain their trust. 2. Have something they want. 3. Pretend its a joke, tell them it will cost them their soul. 4. Write up a contract for their eternal soul in exchange for what you have that they want. Be specific about the soul going to you and the date. 5. Have them sign it. ~with harm to none so mote it be~
No harm no foul tombstone. Ive never done it but its been done to me. I was tricked into signing though. They said it was something else and then told me after i signed. They probably traded it to loki along with the others they collected for something. ~blessed be~
