Once this formal magic has begun, the spirit is unable to leave the Circle of
Power until the formal magic is complete.
The spirit’s death bag is modified by this formal magic to have been weakened
by two deaths. In addition, this formal magic causes a third death. Upon
resurrection, the spirit must pull from death’s bag only once, with the spirit
having been weakened by this formal magic by a total of three deaths.
The target may not refuse this formal magic.
Casting of this formal magic is always considered in Dark Territory.
After the Formal Magic is complete, the victim is still able to receive a Life
spell for the next five minutes, and only one spell is necessary to restore the
creature to one body point. If a Life spell is received, the creature is not
forced to resurrect at all, and takes no deaths as a result of the Obliterate.
(This is a clarification of the 7th edition errata, which was ambiguous.)
All components and scrolls used in the casting of this formal magic MUST be of
unrestricted transfer.
