It's worth noting that death defines life, and vice versa. Without one, you wouldn't be able to know about the other. Also the idea that death is a part of life, rather than the opposite of it.

Anyway, the Death soul could very well have the power to manipulate free-floating souls. Perhaps Nito's reduced powers, relative to what he possessed during the war against the dragons, is reflected by the soul items found on numerous corpses, including ones inside his own domain. Perhaps they stay there because Nito has not "processed," for lack of a better term, the souls of these corpses. If so, Nito doesn't control death itself, but rather the "processing" of death that is not "processed" by the natural soul absorption most creatures seem to possess.

Come to think of it, maybe Nito has the best manipulation of souls among the Lords because of that. Maybe he could've even remade the First Flame, considering the Witch of Izalith seems to have gotten it mostly right. No way to tell, of course, but it certainly seems like a possibility assuming the rest is true as well.

This is complete speculation, of course. Still, feels good to release a speculation brainstorm.
