 Re: Death?
During this time you are:
1) Not a ghost.
2) Not souless.
The ghost misconception is an unfortunate consequence of the "glow" being whitish. You're not a ghost, you can interact with the world, walk around, eat, talk to people, all the things a ghost can't easily do.
I've never head the "souless" idea before but the only time your soul is seperated from your body is the time between when you die, and when you appear at the bindstone. What the bindstone does, is put the soul and the body back together. Barring powerfull and obscure magics which can sometimes have unnatural effects like seperating the soul from the body in weird ways, if your soul is not with your body, it means you are dead. By powerfull magics I mean things like, transforming yourself into a lich or trapping a soul in a gem.
The "glow" just represents that you look very bad, worn out, tired, haggard and weak untill you have physically recovered from your soul being torn from then reunited with your body.
