UNLINK (while dead)
*Clerics now must link their souls to the dead *
[Prep 308 to link to body]
[Prep 312, 318 or 350 to raise body]
If you wish for another Cleric to raise you,
or feel you are being violated/vultured,
you can UNLINK
You must cast Well of Life before the dead can be resurrected. If the souls are NOT linked, then the dead person cannot, of course, UNLINK. Once linked but prior to being raised, a dead person may UNLINK to sever the bond between the cleric and the deceased. If the dead person chooses to remain linked, the soul link will last for 15 minutes or until the corpse is raised or UNLINK is invoked.
Note that after raising a corpse, the soul link remains for another two minutes; i.e., the cleric is mandated to protect the recently resurrected for two minutes.)(Also NOTE: Establishing a soul link does not negate the requirement of preserving the corpse with Lifekeep!)
Attempts to resurrect a dead person without first casting a soul link via Well of Life (308):
>prep 318
You concentrate on the Life Restoration spell...
Your spell is ready.
>cast Jylia
You gesture at Jylia. You realize too late that you are not currently soul linked to Jylia.
The incredible amount of magical energy you have called upon explodes in the air above you. The backwash of pure spiritual energy overwhelms your senses! You are stunned! Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

After Cleric recovers from the stun and remembers to cast Well of Life upon the body before attempting to raise, thus linking their souls:
>prep 308
You concentrate on the Well of Life spell...
Your spell is ready.
>cast Jylia
You gesture at Jylia.
A silvery translucent thread extends from you encompassing Jylia's corpse.
For one fleeting moment as your soul touches Jylia's soul, you feel an overwhelming sense of fright and desperation. Then a wave of blissful calmness settles upon you as you sense your souls have linked together. Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

When the deceased UNLINKs with a cleric, the cleric can no longer raise that corpse unless the link is reestablished:
>unlink [while you are dead]
If you wish to sever the soul link with Sabre, type UNLINK CONFIRM.
>unlink confirm
You let go of the bond between you and Sabre allowing your soul to embrace the long dark. The abyss awaits...
You sense the link to Jylia's soul slip peacefully away

Note that two minutes after a successful resurrection, the soul link naturally dissolves:
You sense the link to Jylia's soul slip peacefully away.

Sabre gestures at you. A gigantic burst of magic explodes over the head of Sabre. He reels from the backwash of pure spiritual energy!
Sabre gestures at you.
A silvery translucent thread extends from Sabre encompassing you.
You sense the warmth and comfort of salvation.
NOTE that a third party will see this:
Sabre gestures at Jylia. A silvery translucent thread extends from Sabre encompassing Jylia's corpse.
You sense the link to Jylia's soul slip peacefully away.

You sense the link to Jylia's soul slip peacefully away.
