Description: These were once men or animals. They are the failure to correctly cast the spell Formula to Raise from Essential Salts. The spell is cast on the remains of a deceased being that has been rendered down into a dry ash—if any of the remains are missing, Ye Liveliest Awfulness results.
It is an inhuman monstrosity, a deformed, immortal beast bent on consuming flesh and blood.
Ye Liveliest Awfulness is extremely difficult to kill, but a sorcerer who knows the Formula to Raise from Essential Salts can “put down” such any part of the corpse is missing the raising will not be successful, and a hideous abomination may result (Unnatural check, intensity 6). The target is raised with the following invocation:
A person unfortunate enough to be brought back to life in this manner suffers a Helplessness check, intensity 7. Being dissolved back to dust again is a Helplessness check, intensity 8.
