All of the SOULs have Determination. The red SOUL is special in that the first-time response to the Ball Game's red flag is essentially "all of the above", and subsequent reds yield "Trying as hard as you can, you continue to be yourself".

So no, red is not determination. That's a trait of all human SOULs, and not one of personality.

All of the traits have no special powers. The only things special about human SOULs are irrelevant to the trait: Determination and vast power, but not magic.

The Determination lets human SOULs persist after death (or at least death by non-violent means), and whichever being (usually a human) is the most determined holds the ability to SAVE.

The power does nothing for humans on its own, because humans no longer know how to learn magic. But if some creature that could use magic absorbed a human SOUL... That's a different matter.
