Using Corpses & Spirits
A spirit in a newly-dead corpse can be manipulated in a number of useful ways.
- Funerals can be held to ferry the deceased to an afterlife maintained by a godscult.
- Extracting a spirit produces a soul usable for casting, provided you have a Totem on hand.
- Ritual cooking transfers some of the corpse’s innate power into you, potentially at a cost.
If a corpse is left to sit for 1 week, the spirit sinks out of the corpse & drifts down towards the Underworld. It is likely to end up in the grip of a hellbound beast & tortured/processed for its leftover energies. This is well-known & feared by all.
