That assumes that there is something holding the soul together (the balloon) and the soul itself is inside. I see the void as attached to the soul itself and bits breaking off. Granted a sword is a clumsy instrument to sever the connection and will probably leave some bits of soul attached to the void but they would have gone soon enough anyway.

Agreed, but MGF says there's a period when a PC is heading towards being a vampire but isn't yet. The discussion is to work out what that process involves.
