	Philosopher's Preservation
Abbreviation:	`PHP`
Prerequisites:	Butcher's Eye, Obfuscation
Minimum Prep:	8
Casting Cap:	63
Valid Spell Target:	Self
Description:	Philosopher's Preservation overlays the Necromancer's nervous system with one designed after a far greater being. This temporary mutation considerably increases his reaction time, granting the magician quick reflexes and almost supernatural grace when evading attacks. Being a particularly deep-carved mutation, however, its reversal may prove unpleasant.
Example Messaging:	You clench your hands into fists and grit your teeth, trying to channel mutation through your body! Swirls of reddish-black energy erupt forth from all over your body, settling into your nervous system. There is the briefest flash of intense pain before the spell improves your mortal reflexes into something beyond that of a normal <caster's race>. Third person POV: <Caster> clenches her hands into fists and grits her teeth. Swirls of reddish-black energy erupt forth from <caster>'s body, eventually settling into a monstrous pattern shining through <his/her> <scales/skin/fur>.

Notes

Evasion (major) and Reflex (minor) buff.
Appears in caster's LOOK as: A web of reddish-black lines forms a strange pattern upon <caster>'s body as they gleam from beneath his <scales/skin/fur>.
Causes a smallish vitality hit when wearing off.
- With 25 stamina, the vitality hit results in "somewhat battered"
