About the PR

Instead of dropping organs, sacrificing someone as Heretic will spawn 7 "Soul Fragments" - each of which corresponds to a type of organ, and is usable as such in rituals.

Why / Balance

This makes it a bit easier for a Heretic to carry around ritual ingredients, as well as making it so every species has the same amount of reward for sacrificing (e.g. slime people only dropping brains and lungs) and making it so heretics don't have to spend time puzzling over which Gray organ is the stomach.

Technical details

Mostly YML and FTL - changed out a few lines in

They're some of the heretic gods - Doe, Warden, and Fugitive are all mentioned in flavor text for the paths, and the rest are in the "thought-things" in-game book. Couldn't think of anything to put there that would be helpful gameplay-wise, so I just went for something fun writing-wise.

quick note, the souls may need more distinguishing features. being colorblind and trying to pick out which soul you're wanting to use might be worse than trying to figure out what a gray digests with.

Fair point - added some unique little icons to each one.
