[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8440146, member: 20564"] If they have easy access to ressurection magic, you would expect that they would use it on productive members of the community before criminals. Anyone dies ot accident, brought back. Adventurers trying to do good, brought back, etc. And the cost of being brought back is covered by whom? Now, turning them to Stone, so they experience the whole time, and turning them back, which doesn't have a costly material component. That works. Though the idea does remind me a bit of the Taltos books by Steven Brust. The wealthy and high ranking have pretty ubiquitous access to resurrection magic, which can be thwarted in a few ways including these soul-sucking weapons that are unfortunately common. Assassination was used regularly - but with skilled assassins intentionally not making the body un-revivable. It was seen as a lesson or to get someone out of the way. It was a big deal for an unrevivable contract. [/QUOTE]
