The soul (also known as spirit, essence, astral effluence, sol in Ozkavosh) is the incorporeal aspect of all living beings in the lore of Dota 2.

As a being, a soul is additionally known as an apparition, banshee, geist, gast, ghost, revenant, shade, wight, wraith, etc. in Dota 2 lore.

Description
The soul is the eternal and irreducible essence responsible for animating the body of an entity and hence giving it life. Thus, possessing a soul of one's own is undeniable proof that a being is alive. In some cases, having a soul of your own is the proof of a being's individual identity distinct from other beings.

Naturally, the soul is beyond our material plane. As such, it is also beyond all mortal senses. Only supernatural sight such as the can see spirits.

and its related stuff, including cakra and kundalini (a.k.a. serpent of illumination to Ezalor, a reference to its luminous nature as well as its coiled state when dormant and twining state when awakened, akin to kundalini in real-life), in the lore of Dota 2 implies the following things about the soul:
 * First things first, the meaning of kundalini in real life Hinduism. Kundalini is a cosmic energy that is believed to be inside everyone, pictured as a coiled serpent resting at the base of one's spine. Through a series of techniques in Laya Yoga, the practitioner awakens the kundalini and brings it up along the spine to their head, like a snake up a tree. On the way to the final cakra (an energy centre that's located in a specific area of the body) at the head, the kundalini passes through the six cakras before reaching the final one, causing the practitioner to feel an overwhelming and indescribable bliss that reflects the practitioner's union with the atman or their soul.
 * Dota 2's version of kundalini is very similar. Ezalor mentions the “serpent of illumination” or a snake of light that stirs once he casts his, implying that it was in a dormant state prior. It is also said to be a light energy that moves through the body, much like kundalini. It's possible that it also moves through six cakra stations on its way to the seventh and final one, possibly causing the affected to reunite with their soul, which could be the harmony stated in this spell's lore. All of this is pictured in 's icon, where the twining lines going towards the light are the kundalini, the vertical line represents the spine it climbs upon, the two circles on the vertical line are the cakras, and the light at the top is the achieved reunion.
 * The light at the top may also represent the attained realization or knowledge of the true self, the atman or soul, that comes with reuniting with it.
 * Although it isn't covered by 's lore, the bliss caused by its spiritual union is referenced by Elder Titan every time he uses his, a spell that reunites a piece of his broken soul with him, his broken soul caused by casting.
 * What all of this possibly means for the soul in Dota 2 is that it is currently disconnected from the owner, despite the astral umbilicus binding the soul to the body. Perhaps it can be said that this disunity is on a higher level of existence, this higher plane being the shattered Primordial harmony. This also means that reuniting with the soul causes bliss and reunion can be done by awakening the kundalini or serpent of light via chakra magic to make it reach all six chakras and the final seventh one, achieving spiritual union. If the spell's effects in gameplay are anything to go by, then this reunion also restores mana for some reason.

Aspects of the spirit
The soul's tether, also known as an astral umbilicus, connects the spirit to the corporeal body. This keeps the body and the soul connected during out-of-body experiences a.k.a. astral projections. It is severed upon death, releasing the spirit from a lifeless body.

Wraith essence is the pure and imperishable spirit-flesh that wraiths use to compose a compatible form for them to assume so that they can walk upon the material plane.

Mana is heavily implied to be a spiritual energy that flows deep from the soul. It is often used as a energy that brings about magical happenings.

eldwurms       DOTA: Dragon's Blood, Book 3, Episode 8: Consider Phlebas (18:00) *The Invoker and Filomena operate the Forge to begin creating the universe anew, this time with Mirana and Davion* Invoker: ''Reach out with your mind. Ignore the illusion of the physical world. See the Pillars as they truly are.'' *They both follow his instructions. Mirana closes her eyes, finding herself in a dream with the eight Eldwurms surrounding her. Davion appears in front of her* Invoker: Draw them to you. *Mirana reaches her hand out towards Davion, pulling him towards her. Davion slowly begins to dissipate as the Eye behind her starts to glow. Memories of her time with Davion in the past universe flash in her mind. As the Forge's mechanism begins to intensify, Mirana suddenly hesitates and stops, ceasing the Forge from spinning and Davion from dissolving* Davion: ''Mirana, no. It's okay, I'm okay. I used to think my name was the most important thing in the world. Now, I know it's how I'm remembered that matters, and who remembers me. Mirana: Even if this works, the last thing I'll see is you. I'll watch you die, knowing I was the cause. Davion: You're not the cause. *Mirana begins to tear up* Mirana: I can let you go, him go. I don't know that I can kill you. Davion: This is my choice. *His words divert Mirana's attention from her woe to Davion* Davion: What I want.'' *Davion smiles at her. Mirana wipes a tear from her eyes* Mirana: You know, most men would say the opposite. Davion: I'm not most men. Mirana: ''Come here. Come to me on your own. *They both float towards each other and embrace* Mirana: We'll do this together. *The Eye behind her begins to glow* Invoker: Now, think of the old world as your remember it, and let this world go.'' *Davion and Mirana share one last kiss together as the Eye and the Forge resume their work, causing Davion to disappear and killing him in the physical world. In the Invoker's tower, the remaining Heroes watch as the Forge starts spinning, while Filomena holds her father's hand and leans on his shoulder. Meanwhile, Mirana catches the Thunder in its concentrated form falling slowly into her hands and holds them tightly* Invoker: ''Let it go, Mirana. Let it all go.'' *Mirana proceeds to destroy Experiment 12,403. The Forge emits a powerful flare that consumes everything in its light. We then see the planet's destruction being reversed, followed by everything that happened in Experiment 12,403. Successful, Mirana finds herself in a copy of the old universe, sitting in the same spot where she held Davion's body as she watches Invoker's Forge fail''

This is why we can get in. This is how God Empress Mirana can get us out. Mirana: Crazy, stupid...apparently, it's what I do too. Davion: I'm living proof. *All the Heroes walk towards the Invoker to prepare, except for Bram who is stopped by Kaden* Kaden: Not you. Bram: No. No, I'm...I'm coming with you. Kaden: We may go there and die. Or we may win, but still die. Bram: I've earned this! What more do I have to prove? Kaden: Nothing. You know everything there is to know about dragons. You know the traditions of Dragon Hold. You learned the secrets of the Forge. We can't afford to lose that... Bram: Well there's― Kaden: ...Father. Bram: What? Father? Me?

Bram: So, when you come back, do I get to tell you what to do? Kaden: No. Invoker: When you're ready, Your Majesty, I will reach into your mind and provide our destination. *His eyes begin to glow as his orbs manifest around them, and a magic glyph glows beneath them all* Invoker: You need to only think it, and we will travel. Mirana: I'm ready. Invoker: A warning. Foulfell is unlike anything you've ever experienced. It's a prison where demons consign their own to drive them mad with their darkest regrets. Davion: Didn't do much to Terrorblade. Invoker: The demons erred. Terrorblade is incapable of regret. Prepare yourselves. Our enemy awaits in the hell of hells.'' *Mirana causes an expanding beam of light that consumes the Heroes, transporting them to Foulfell. In the hell of hells, the Heroes are tormented by their regrets as the respective images of their past haunt them, save for the Invoker and Sagan. We hear the Heroes' reactions to their suffering* Mirana: I caused all of this. Davion: No, no. It can't be. Luna: I thought I had no choice. Kaden: I wanted to change my fate.
