引用小智比赛失败那天的帖子：
正如楼主所说，小智的灵魂即使摔倒了多少次，他也依旧能重新站起，迈向前方更为遥远的旅程。
那又是为谁而启程？为了什么而继续旅行？与其说是编剧，倒不如说他的灵魂早已卖给了观众，被某些人的期待所驱使? 他这场看似
永无止境
的旅行，要到多远才会有所成果？
小智的梦想，真的还活着吗？
第6次失败，这次他笑得比任何一次还要灿烂，是还未心死，还是早已心死呢？
该骂的还是会骂的，即使他的灵魂是自由的，然而也伤痕满满了不是吗？

同样的，绿木头也提到魔法女神和卡苏斯有这状态
…Toril, who were all tiny parts of Mystra. From them her vestige (seen briefly onstage in a cave in one of my Sage of Shadowdale novels) could arise to observe what was going on and give guidance to mortals who would heed her…
No. Karsus tried to become a god, and some refer to him as 'the momentary god,' but although he seized the POWER of a deity, he never achieved godhood.He's now a vestige because Ao bound his soul to the Prime Material. Ao also prevented his return in any manner.
