More actions
Tarry is a level 7 spell. It extends an eligible dead target's death count while preserving reset limits and the spirit's choice to resurrect.
Spell Details
- School: Earth.
- Scroll Availability: No.
- Potion Availability: No.
- Level: 7.
- Duration: 5 Minutes.
Effects
The target must be dead, within their five-minute death count, and otherwise eligible for Life. A successful casting extends the death count by five minutes.
Tarry may be cast on the same target more than once, but works only when five minutes or less remain on the current death count. If more than five minutes remain, the casting is spent without effect.
Reset Limits
Tarry cannot extend a death count beyond reset. If the count has been extended beyond its original five minutes when reset occurs, the effect ends and the character proceeds to resurrect.
Tarry cannot enable a Life spell gained during a later reset period to save someone whose original death count expired in the previous period. It also cannot force a character to undergo multiple castings of the Obliterate Formal.
The Spirit's Choice
After the initial five-minute death count, the target may choose to end the count and resurrect immediately. Tarry cannot hold a spirit beyond the original five minutes against its will, even if the character is enslaved or otherwise controlled.
Incantation
