Seek thy abyss. The light blinds the darkness binds.

[Lucia]

Lucia begins to trace a pentagram on the ground, lighting several candles around it, as she focusses.. a feral mind is briefly seen taking control as she collapses, seen in a spirit form inside the pentagram.

Well, there we go. This is always somewhat odd.

[Raleigh]

I would imagine so. Now here is the amusing thing about what has happened, since you aren't in your body I'm not bound as your summoning due to you using blood to achieve it. Also your soul is just floating around and thus a tempting target simply due to the energy it possesses. Guess what I'm going to do? *A crystal appears in his hands.*

[Lucia]

Lucia hmms..

Hehe.. interesting situation, here.

[Raleigh]

Indeed. Seal. *The crystal glows as it begins to pull on Lucia's soul.*

[Lucia]

The crystal glows as.. nothing happens? It's like Lucia doesn't even have a soul...

Hmm.. curious.

[Raleigh]

Indeed because if you don't have a soul this form of immortality won't even work. Never mind a perfectly good lesson in trusting summons is completely ruined. Oh well. *Tosses the crystal to the side.* Do you want me to proceed with what I was going to do or do we need to get you back in your body and find out whats wrong with your soul?

[Lucia]

There's something wrong with my soul? o.0 and I can get back into my body fine.. What worries me though is.. err.. I'm confused? o.o

[Raleigh]

I don't think we can proceed with this method of making you a lich is what I was saying. Rejoin with your body, it would appear I'm going to have to show you another route to immortality even if its technically a more bastardized version of necromancy.

[Lucia]

Lucia kicks over a candle, as she returns to her body

Okay.. so, what exactly is it?

[Raleigh]

We'll have to give you an immortal body another way. This won't quite be a lich but you have some benefits even they won't have. None of those undead weaknesses plus if I teach you some necromantic life draining skills you should heal up after just about any damage done to your body. I don't know what proper school of mysticism this falls under but its an old tried and true solution. It will hurt like hell though. *A knife appears in his hand.* Hold still while I cut out your heart.

[Lucia]

Uh.. okie o.o;; *holds still*

[Raleigh]

I suppose you've never heard of this trick? I remove your heart and place in its place some device that will perform the similar biological function and remove the real one. This makes you practically impossible to kill other than probably simply decimating your body overall such as tearing it apart limb by limb but even that would get better however you will need to hide your heart somewhere safe where no harm may come to it. I think I remember there was a side effect of doing this but I don't think it was important. *Begins to go to work.*

[Lucia]

Okie o.o that sounds fine then.. uh.. I just hold still like this?

[Raleigh]

Yep. *Blurs into motion and then steps back.* Alright your heart has been replaced with a lovely magical construct that should perform the biological job. As for this one, *Here he holds up the heart in a jar.* , it needs to be put somewhere safe. You are effectively immortal (as in ageless, beyond disease and all that jazz) so long as this remains unharmed. The moment this is stabbed or damaged in any real way though and you will die.

[Lucia]

Okay, shouldn't be too hard to protect. *smiles, as a pentagram forms around the jar*

Anything else to keep in mind?
