Legacy Power: Life Spark

Advancements in medicine come easier without ethical limitations.

A 1 Gift Raise Dead Power used by Victor Vale, created by LiteraryAdventures.

Description

Victor lays out the skeletal remains in a frame of the original form. He wraps silver wire across the frame to tie the skeleton together and places his hand upon the chest of the skeletal frame. A static field emerges around the target and emits a faint, high-pitched hum. The skeletal frame rises up from the ground.

System

Choose a Dead target that has died within the last month, spend an Action and Exert your Mind to raise the dead. The resulting Animate creature is a husk of their former selves, a mindless zombie. It has no memory of its past life, and no hint of its personality remains.

The revived creature will follow any command you speak.

The creature lasts for one hour or until re-killed. 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.

The revived creature's Abilities are all set to 0, and its Charisma and Intellect, are all set to 1. Its Dexterity, Brawn and Perception are the same as it had in life. A revived creature cannot use any Powers.

Enhancements

  • Speech (The revived creature may always speak if they could in life, regardless of their state of decay or bodily damage.)
  • Skeletal Minion (You may use this Effect on long-dead corpses. At least half the skeleton must be present.)
  • Durable Dead (The revived creature remains animated for a day.)
  • Rigor Mortis no More (The revived creature has the same rating in Dexterity that it had in life and may move normally.)

Drawbacks

  • Tunnel Vision (While this Effect is active, you are at -2 dice to all Actions and cannot Concentrate.)
  • Humanities (This Effect can only be used on Humans.)
  • Long Cast (This Effect takes one minute to activate.)
  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
    • Object - Silver wire
