Hmm. Do proposals take precedence over rules? Because Rule 7-1 says "A 
player may only lose possession of eir Soul or gain possession of another 
Soul in a manner stated by the rules," which (it would seem to me) means 
that if destroying Mithrandir's Soul does destroy BvS's as well, the action 
would be cancelled. That is, assuming that proposals defer to rules.

Or I could make it "destroy the Soul of Mithrandir and the Soul of Baron von 
Skippy. Give Baron von Skippy a Soul." That would be worth it just for 
putting that sentence into a proposal...
