Resurrection

Resurrection is the process by which a person returns to life. There are many methods of going about this process, all with varying experience costs related to them. Resurrections by groves and devotion users cost nothing. Resurrection via a starburst tattoo costs a relatively small amount of experience. Being immolated at the Flame of Yggdrasil is the penultimate in terms of experience costs, and the costliest, performed when one has no other means available, is praying for salvation. Failure to either be resurrected or resurrect oneself results in a steady experience loss, starting when a soul's mana reaches zero.

Almost all forms of resurrection, save a few, require the resurrector to be in possession of the deceased's corpse. The exceptions are praying for salvation, which one may do at any time while dead, and grove resurrection, which requires that either the corpse or soul be present in the grove. Groves users may also resurrect themselves by this process.

Resurrection is not to be confused with reincarnation, which, while an act of returning to life, is primarily a method to alter one's race.
