Yes
You black out.
Wake up? Takes a roll.

You wake up.
The shrine has been destroyed, Essence smouldering around it. The statue at its centre is downright missing.
Other than that everything's OK.
...
Wait...
...
YOU HAVE A SOUL.
Well I used the Deltarune Soul because it's black and white which is the closest I can get to a black SOUL with a white outline to symbolize no SOUL
Well too bad now you have a SOUL.
Excuse me but ANDAR WHAT DID YOU MAKE ME DO?!
"D'you like it?"
I BLACKED OUT AND WAKE UP NOW TO FIND THE ENTIRE SHRINE DESTROYED! WHAT HAPPENED?!
"Just aftereffects from the Ritual. It's fine, a small price to pay in comparison to what they'll achieve. And you even got a SOUL out of it!"
A what
"A SOUL. Not soul, the vial you use for spells and focus, but a SOUL, the essence, mind you, of your very existence. It would be the first major step in your journey..."
Ok, so I didn't have a soul before... what does it even do?
"..."
I CAN DO ANYTHING NOW!
So can I go save that guy who was looking over at the lake now? Can I will another Dream Nail or two into existence?
"With your SOUL, you can concentrate determination to accomplish all sorts of feats."
