Yes. Though narrating how can be fun.

Me too - or rather, me too until I re-read and saw your use of the phrase "soul-wind (breath)". Yes, the Orlanthi believe that their breath and their soul are the same thing, don't they? Even so, I think the physical manifestation is required. The complete separation of mundane body and otherworldly soul is a comparatively modern idea, I gather, I'm not sure it would occur so easily to Orlanthi. Unless of course they're heretical, free-thinking weirdos like, say, a PC... let's say you won't find a Listed Feat that does that, but an improvised one, maybe.
On the simpler subject of how to narrate an indirect physical effect on the mind of the opponent, our very own Humakti subcult of Hereward Truewind has a neat little feat called Howling Doomwind whose sole purpose is to terrify the opposition with thoughts of their mortality. For a similar and more Orlanthi effect, I'd suggest looking at bagpipes.
