Rules question for the society.


Pathfinder Society


I have been trying to make a necromancer that i enjoy playing and found a spell, create soul gem. The spell is listed as legal for pathfinder society play, the item crafted contains the soul of said creature however there is another part of the book that is not mentioned in the additional resources online but does actually describe what you use these soul gems for and their primary use is they reduce component costs of spells, or can be used as offerings.

With this in mind my question is this: If i use create soul gem on a dying creature assuming my party is willing to tolerate me doing so, can i use its soul as a component in my spell particularly for animate dead, and create undead. It would not completely solve my problem of paying a component cost for a permenant spell that only lasts a single session but will mitigate it to 25gp per casting assuming i have soul gems available.

Where's "Create Soul Gem" from? I don't see it in the PRD.

OK, found it. BoD III: Horseman of the Apocalypse.

I see in the initial inquiry you also kind of answer your own question. The spell is legal to use, since all spells on page 38 are legal (and page 39, but the spell is on 38). However, the use you want to use the soul gem for is NOT part of what is permitted via Additional Resources. Therefore, you would be able to create a soul gem if you wanted to, but you would not be able to use it as a spell component since those rules are not PFS legal at this time.
