| Description: | The Preserve ritual, while it does not completely stop a corpse from decaying away, will considerably lengthen the time before it does. This is particularly useful if you wish to perform other, more lengthy rituals on the corpse. | |
| Messaging: | You bend over the <creature>'s corpse to make one long, continuous cut with your ritual knife that just barely pierces into it. Unseen energies seep into the creature's fluids, suspending the corpse in unnatural stasis for a time. | |
Notes
The Preserve ritual suspends a corpse in an unnatural stasis, allowing it to remain much longer before decaying, though LOOTing will make it decay normally. This ritual is generally used as preparation for other lengthier rituals.
- Utilization of this ritual successfully will also teach First Aid in addition to Thanatology.
- This ritual generates a modest amount of Divine Outrage.
