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.
Effect:	+Evasion skill, +Reflex (stat), +Stamina (stat)
Example Messaging:	1st person: 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 <race>. 3rd person: <Necromancer> clenches <his/her> hands into fists and grits <his/her> teeth. Swirls of reddish-black energy erupt forth from <Necromancer>'s body, eventually settling into a monstrous pattern shining through <his/her> <skin/scales>.
Devices/Tattoos:	No devices or tattoos documented.

Notes

• Appears on LOOK. This look is no longer able to be hidden with Rite of Grace, and Rite of Contrition no longer dispels it. While it is now possible to manually RELEASE it, there's no longer any way to hide the spell's look when you are using it.
• Causes ~10% hit to vitality and fatigue when it wears off.
• Casting this spell inside a standard justice zone generates Social Outrage. Having it visible in a justice zone no longer generates outrage.
