Meri here. That's probably a common theme in lots of old stories. In 
the Prydain Chronicles by Lloyd Alexander for instance, Taran 
encounters an evil wizard who magicked his life force into his pinky 
finger, then cut off the apendage and hid it in a tree. He could only 
be killed when the finger was destroyed. But where would LV keep his 
soul? Who would he trust enough to carry such a desperately important 
item for him?
