Soul obelisk (Menaphos)

A Soul obelisk appears in Menaphos periodically, initially released as a teaser for the release of the slayer boss the Magister. Interacting with the obelisks provides a large amount of city reputation, Runecrafting and Prayer experience, but deal some damage to the player. It is unclear whether or not this soul obelisk is the same as the one at the one found at Soul Wars, which was built by Oreb's pupil, Nomad. Zanik claims that the Soul Wars obelisk has been disappearing from Soul Wars and appearing elsewhere for periods of time, suggesting the possibility that they are one and the same.

Multiple soul obelisks may be spawned in at any given time in multiple worlds, with one obelisk per world. Each soul obelisk lasts 7 minutes and 30 seconds.

A maximum of 20,000 reputation can be gained per day from the obelisks. Attempting to interact with an obelisk after reaching the cap prompts the following message: "Your soul has been weakened too much by the soul obelisk. You cannot attempt to hold back the soul obelisks any more today."

While interacting with the obelisk the player earns prayer and runecrafting experience.

When an obelisk spawns in a world, the following message is broadcast:

When choosing to touch the soul obelisk, players receive a pop up stating "Your connection to the realm of the living weakens." When the player stops touching the obelisk or respawns after dying, they receive another pop up message stating "You return to the realm of the living."

If the player chooses to die rather than heal themselves, they will respawn in the Menaphos plaza.

NPCs in Menaphos that are near an obelisk while it is spawned may say various messages over their head, including: After the obelisk has disappeared:
 * I can't... move.
 * Be on your guard.
 * I'm scared!
 * Is that obelisk another one of the Pharaoh's ventures?
 * Is this the Pharaoh's doing?
 * Has someone reported this to Commander Akhomet?
 * Argh! A weird obelisk!
 * Apmeken help us!
 * Holy Tumeken... What is that thing?
 * My soul...hurts. Guards, help!
 * My old bones can't handle this... Help...
 * Ouch! Is it... draining our energy?
 * Where did it go?!
 * Ah, thank the sands...
 * What are those obelisks doing?!

While touching the obelisk, the following messages can appear:


 * You hear an angry voice muttering something unintelligible.
 * An angry voice echoes around Menaphos. It is cursing your name.
 * The soul obelisk feels alive. It seems displeased with your presence.
 * You feel a familiar connection. The Magister is fighting back.
