Game mechanics[edit]
- You only gain energy when your energy is below maximum. Deaths while at maximum energy do not count towards the limit of 3 triggerings per 15 seconds.
- You gain energy whenever a non-spirit creature dies within 2508 gwinches, which is roughly equivalent to spirit range or 2.5 Danger Zone radii.
- The Necromancer of Grenth blessing increases Soul Reaping by 1, even if your character's primary profession is not Necromancer.

Trivia[edit]
- Prior to the November 13th, 2007 update, spirits also contributed to the Soul Reaping's energy gain when they died.
- Prior to the April 5th, 2007 update, there was no frequency limit to earning energy from Soul Reaping. The update introduced a "up to 3 times per 15 seconds" restriction.
- The update also halved energy gain from spirits' deaths and limited energy gain from spirit's deaths to those of spirits created by the Necromancer. This dramatically nerfed certain Necromancers-based teams revolving around spamming spirits to provide energy to the whole team, such as Blood Spike teams.
