This would be interesting, but I think the biggest struggle that Vlad will
have is that it is not polite to destroy someone's sole.  Also, with
Aliera's temper, I suspect that pathfinder has destroyed souls a plenty
since it's acquisition.  Of course, I can't think of a specific instance,
but she hasn't had it very long really; only since DRAGON which in terms of
drageareans isn't very long at all.  So it might very well be possible for
there to be a sort of unwritten code against destroying somebody's soul with
a great weapon.  This code though might be very loose as is implied at the
end of Issola with Verra's reactions.  She seemed generally fearful of what
might be her fate.  As a goddess, she would probably know about any sort of
code like that.  I still think though that the interesting internal struggle
with Vlad regarding the use of Godslayer will be to do what is proper versus
doing what is in Vlad's nature.
