This spell allows the shukenja to instill the life force of a deceased individual to another form, and as such is used in situations where the body is long dead or the body is severely deteriorated or damaged. Unlike other versions of this spell, there is neither time limit nor body required to complete the spell. The spirit inhabits one of the types of bodies listed on the table.

If the character is reincarnated in a form that is a player character race, a new character is generated. The character has all the memories of his previous life, and is able to communicate with his comrades.

The material components of this spell are the shukenja's holy symbol and some part of the deceased's body, or some article of clothing or item connected with the deceased.
