is it then something like randomly select 1-5 targets in soul vortex range each one randomly suffers e.g. 1-10 hp drained x fatigue added for y drained life ?

It uses the same area of effect selection that all aura type effects use. Every unit in an affected square takes damage, but I am not sure or how large the area of effect is, nor how much damage is caused.

My guess is that it causes somewhere around 1 armor negating damage in the 12 or so squares that are closest to the unit with soul vortex.

almost all afflictions hurt you . losing an arm e.g. means armslot item lost + -2 attack or something like that.

Thes they hurt you, but they don't really affect your combat ability that much.

]more questions to eyeshield : so will the eyeshield when you are hit always give the hitter the lost an eye affliction ?
or is there a saving roll ?

Like I stated the first time, the eyeshield will only cause an affliction if the damage it applies to the unit gets through the protection of the unit. There is no MR roll involved at all, and you are not guaranteed to cause eye loss on any particular hit.

furthermore what is hit by opponent:

It refers to a hit, regardless of whether the unit penetrates the protection of the victim.
