A Grey Soul is a weakened soul. It's not that there is no magic or power inside the soul, but the soul cannot use any power or magic because it means that you've lost your trait or motivation for said trait. They appear as grey and it's an effect of a human losing their trait.
Basic Knowledge of The Grey Soul
No one has ever been born with a grey soul. This is not considered a trait, but is the lack of one. However, humans that don’t possess magic abilities do not have a grey soul. A wizard’s soul may turn grey depending on the subject’s experiences, they’re most likely to be triggered by a traumatic experience. This is not a permanent state, in fact, once children find what their trait is, they are also likely to have their soul turn grey a couple of times during their childhood. They usually go back to their respective color once the situation that caused the problem is solved, and/or the issue becomes less frequent with the pass of time. The problem comes when an adult wizard suffers from this. Depending on their trait, having a grey soul may affect not only their magic, but their way of thinking or in extreme cases, even their personalities. A wizard with a Grey soul can NOT use magic. If the soul is partially uncolored, their magic may not be as strong or as effective. It is recommended to ask for help if the problem persists through a week or two. For adults, the longer a subject stays with a Grey soul, the harder it is to get it back to normal.
