Temporary Wounding Limitation

The Soul Damage is just this particular instance - illusory damage, supernatural curses, or even superscience weapons could all have justification for using a Temporary Wounding modifier. Also, just as there's no consensus on what a soul has to be, there's no one true way to build an ability that attacks a soul - in some settings the soul regenerates rapidly, in others all damage to the soul is permanent. Additionally, in some settings the soul is a formless mass that takes generalized damage that resembles the effects of poison or disease (as in your suggestion), while in others it's like a carbon-copy of the body it's inhabiting and reacts to damage just like a body would.

So you did, and in a way that may be more usable for other traits, like healing. Your suggested table, when halved and converted to seconds (as you suggested for damage), matches decently well with my assumptions. I think my values may indeed work.
