I think this should have an alternate title of "Phylactery", for the same reason a lot of other tropes have "bathos": it's technically the proper term. Especially if the mods are going to go through with the cleanup and get rid of all the secondary quotes from pages.

Would the literal jars with consciousnesses in them from the Hollow Kingdom Trilogy be a kind of soul jar?

Please delete

This was on the quotes page:

There was a soul-jar, a Scottish soul-jar, he wandered far away.

Problem being: wrong format and no attribution; I can't find the source and can't confirm it's anything to do with with trope. It could be an unrelated use of a phrase.
