What happens to the soul of someone killed by one of Galt's Final Blades?

I vaguely recall that Galt's guillotine's were designed to do something weird so that you couldn't resurrect someone who had been killed by one - does it completely devour/destroy the soul, or simply send it to the Boneyard? If it's technically robbing Pharasma and the various afterlives of the souls that they're due, why hasn't there been any backlash against Galt?


It basically has a trap the soul effect (I would guess per the spell) that can only be released through a special ritual.

Considering it is a minor artifact, and assuming that they don't overuse it I doubt any deity has too many problems with it. Besides, the soul isn't avoiding Pharasma's final judgement, it's merely postponed. The soul isn't destroyed. Beyond which, Pharasma judges and moves the souls to their destination, they aren't her souls.

They stay in the blade until released or the blade is smashed. It's a focus point in a PFS series in fact.

Keep in mind that it really takes a lot to move a divinity, especially one so dedicated to neutrality.
