Ritual of Death

This ritual turns a character into a Death Knight, Death Mage, or Death Assassin, a skeletal greater undead creature. The Death Knight, Death Mage, or Death Assassin is under the control of the caster of the ritual. -The player of the character who died must now play the newly- created undead creature. The greater undead follows all the normal rules for their Death Count, however should they die, their body turns to dust. The player takes one Death on their character card and may now go to the Healer's Circle to have their spirit resurrected. Unlike the undead creation spells of the Necromancy school, the undead created by this ritual can last longer than one Event. The player of the undead character is therefore obligated to play the creature until it is destroyed, or until two months, not two events have passed since the ritual was cast. Only when the undead creature is gone can the player's character be resurrected. This ritual can be cast on a dead body or on a living character by delivering a Killing Blow at the end of the ritual. This ritual requires the body of the character to be turned into a Death Knight, Death Mage, or Death Assassin, the body of a different character cannot be substituted. Should the ritual fail, and all components consumed, then the dead body is destroyed. If a living character was the target of this ritual, then there is no added effect and the character should continue their Death Count normally. Death Knight, Death Mage, or Death Assassin last until destroyed or two months – the month the ritual was cast and the following month – if the target character can resurrect. If the character is un- resurrectable, then this ritual is permanent until the undead is destroyed.
