.......The gauge is simply used for the cost to call a monster.

If a monster/item has "Pay 3 Gauge" for its Call/Equip Cost, it simply means you pay 3 Gauge beforehand to place that card on the field.

If a card has "Pay 3 Gauge & Put the top card of your deck into this card's soul", then you pay 3 Gauge and then put the top card of your deck in the soul.

Paying Gauge for a card does not mean it gains any soul. Only when a cost or effect specifies the adding of a soul, can a card gain Soul.
