Carcass Forging

Cost: 12 SP

With the power of Carcass Forging, you possess the extraordinary ability to transform lifeless corpses into formidable weapons. This dark art allows you to harness the residual strength and essence of the deceased, infusing it into their remains and forging them into instruments of devastating power.

The potency and capabilities of the weapon depend on the strength and prowess the deceased possessed in life, as well as the state and freshness of the corpse. The full corpse of a recently deceased mighty warriors yield the most formidable weapons, while the fresh corpse of a skilled mage offer enchanted implements of arcane power. Each transformed weapon carries echoes of the deceased's former abilities and talents, making them unique and tailored to their original wielder's expertise.

As a master of the Carcass Forging, you have the innate knowledge and skill to extract the latent energy from the corpse and mold it into a weapon. The process involves channeling your own life force and combining it with the residual essence, thereby imbuing the weapon with supernatural attributes and enhancing its performance.

Additionally, as you deepen your mastery over this power, you gain the ability to extract the residual memories and experiences of the deceased. This enables you to tap into their accumulated knowledge and skills temporarily, granting you a limited understanding of their combat techniques, spells, or strategies.

Whatever's Left

Your connection to and understanding of the dead have manifested as an ability to reach across the veil of death for more than simple crafting. You may now copy skills from the deceased, so long as their corpse (or a piece of it) is within range.

The older the corpse is, the weaker the power you can copy is, even before factoring in the 1/108 power division. However, no matter how old the corpse is it will still be possible to copy, and even if long-dead sources will provide a fraction of a fraction of the original, you can still acquire that fraction all the same.
