Necromancy Talents
The Necromancy Talent is an ultra rare talent that stems from a Dark Fairy's ability in Death / Decay Magic.
Necromancy is the revival of the dead, and is done by reconnecting a soul with its body, or getting a heart pumping again. For more information on souls, see Ghosts.
With a Necromancy Talent's ability to see spirits, they have easier access to the soul needed to revive a fairy. This makes it easier for them to bring the two together, the soul and the body. However, spirits can still be fickle things, and this process is rarely easy.
Sometimes, all a necromancer needs to do is convince the soul to return to its body. This can be done with something as simple as a conversation with the deceased's spirit. But many ghosts are stubborn, some not even understanding they are dead, and may get bitter, scared, or angry if that's revealed to them. So, another way to do this, is simply by dragging the soul back to its body. Necromancers are able to channel all their energy and powers into doing this, guiding the soul with nothing more than a wave of their hand or a snap of their finger.
A botched revival is often the result of failing to properly reconnect the soul with its body. This will lead to the revived being able to move, whether that be one limb, or the entire body, but it will be nothing more than a hollow shell of itself.
Effects:
- A revived fairy will come back looking exactly how they did pre-revival. This means, a fairy that is largely decomposed will still look like that.
- Fairies brought back to life can not age. They will be stuck at the age they died/were revived. Solutions to this would need to be found through other means.
- Those brought back by connecting the soul back to its body will have more of their original personality than those who work with the brain. However, they may have less memory of their life, which the brain usually keeps intact.
- The revived do not need to eat or drink to sustain themselves. Whether or not they need sleep depends.
Limitations:
- Necromancy should not be, and is not, a fix-all solution to death.
- Revival is more difficult the longer a fairy has been dead.
- Necromancy is not healing magic. It won't mend any wounds on the body. Limbs will not grow back. They will look exactly as they did in death.
- Necromancy will always come at some cost. Whether that be on the caster's or the receiver's end. These costs can be: losing years of one's life, losing lifeforce, chronic fatigue, bits of decay, etc.
- If you bring a soul in after reviving someone/something with a mismatched brain, this can lead to some confusion for the revived. They will be living with a contrasting soul and memories.
Ultra Rare Powers are only accessible once you reach Level 20 within the server. You can put that your fairy is aspiring for a rarer/uncommon trait in their doc, but they can not fully acquire it until you have reached that level out of character.
