# Bound Souls

The <mark style="color:$warning;">**Bound Soul**</mark> is your single persistent build slot. It is what the Ritual Rankings see.

## <mark style="color:$success;">Saving</mark>

The Bound Soul slot sits at the bottom of the right panel. When empty:

* **💾 Floppy disk icon** → save your current build

Once saved, the slot shows a thumbnail of your effigy.

***

## <mark style="color:$success;">Loading</mark>

When the slot has a saved build:

* **↺ Refresh icon** → restore the saved build

All items, colours, and slider values come back. Your effigy is re-rendered.

***

## <mark style="color:$success;">Deleting</mark>

* **🗑 Trash icon** → clear the slot

***

## <mark style="color:$success;">What Gets Saved</mark>

* All equipped items (body, blade, offhand, necklace, eyes, mouth)
* Overlay colour and intensity
* Body colour and saturation
* Background settings
* A thumbnail of your rendered effigy

***

## <mark style="color:$success;">Cloud Sync</mark>

If your wallet is connected, saves and loads automatically sync to the cloud. Connect from a different device with the same wallet and your build is ready.

The thumbnail is stored locally only. Item paths and colour settings go to the cloud.

***

## <mark style="color:$success;">Connection to the Rankings</mark>

The Ritual Rankings read each wallet's Bound Soul build to calculate power. This means:

> **The only way to climb the Rankings is to save a stronger build to your Bound Soul.**

Equipping items without saving has no effect on your rank.
