Oh yeah, forgot about that for a moment. It happens to all of us. I forgot the exact reference that gave this bit of info for a moment about SOUL affecting the body (It's Entry 3). And the SOUL wouldn't survive, based on it not persisting. So.. yeah.

Speaking of which, the Mad Dummy fight gives us a glimpse of how a monster vs monster combat system would work:Because we attack them by sending their own bullets at them, causing them to take damage. We don't see the numbers appear, but the damage still happens. Napstablook's tears also deal damage. Hence, unlike humans, monsters ARE harmed directly by magic, with no need for them to target the SOUL. (Not that they could anyway, due to being more attuned to their SOUL, separating the body and SOUL isn't so easy. Entry 3 reinforces this conclusion, saying it would require incredible power.)
