Kvapost:

I think it's not so much a question of "taking from" and "encasing 
in", as it really does sound material rather than ethereal. I think 
you are right and there are two separate spells. 
But it seems to me that the soul in question would be split only 
virtually and there are no actual pieces 'to encase'. (This theory 
works better with the view of all living souls being parts of the 
universal soul entity that controls whole humanity as well as 
separate human beings). The spell must be just commanding the entire 
soul to kind of 'remember not to let the person die' while the last 
Hx exists.

And, I think the Hx objects do not 'contain' soul bits 'in' them, 
they are more likely to be 'remote controls' for their respective 
soul bits. When the Hx object is broken/destroyed/deformed, soul bit 
stays lingering, stays put somewhere, not really dying, waiting 
for 'commands'. 

When the last of the pieces gets told 'to get lost' by the Hx 
destroyer, all the soul bits do get lost to the universe/behind the 
Veil or wherever else - **together**.
