Gentle Call of Lethe

Cost: 13m
Target: One living creature

The necromancer marks a person's forehead with a stylized cicada, symbol of eternal life and says the Five Words of Release. He thus binds the creature into the cycle of reincarnation. The cicada-glyph shines for a moment before disappearing, after which it is visible only to Essence sight. Many of those who associate themselves with death understand the rune's power. When the person dies, the glyph shines again. She does not become a ghost. Her spirit enters Lethe at once, unless some extraordinary magic or effort of will hurls her into Oblivion.

Gentle Call of Lethe and Rune of Sweet Passing are incompatible spells. Unless the spell first cast is broken by countermagic, the other enchantment cannot be laid on an individual.
