Repurposed Wormwood Gas

1
The power to reanimate the dead.
Used by Rico D. Shaw, Created by Ltyinkwint.
(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect is very likely to be disturbed to see and hear convulsing noises echo as the fleshy tube protruding from Rico's arm feeds the dead with thick yellow mist. )

Rico connects his hand to the recently dead, feeding the corpse with the thick yellow mist streaming out a dedicated organ producing this abomination that imbues the corpse with a mad semblance of control. Convulsing noises echo as the fleshy tube protruding from Rico's arm enters back into his body. The biological beast rises, waiting for a command.

Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend an Action to activate. Select a Dead target within arm's reach that has died within the last hour.

Your target rises as an Animate being. The raised creature is totally mindless, with no memory of its past life or hint of its old personality. They cannot communicate. They will follow any command you speak.

The creature lasts for the next day or until it dies again. It is revived at full health. Any Injuries it had in life are not accounted for when determining its penalties or progression towards re-death, though they may affect its ability to perform certain actions at GM's discretion.

Raised creatures have all their Abilities set to 0. Their Charisma and Intellect are set to 1, but their Dexterity, Brawn and Perception are the same as they had in life. A raised creature cannot use any Effects.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see and hear convulsing noises echo as the fleshy tube protruding from Rico's arm feeds the dead with thick yellow mist.
