Kho also wanted me to make something clear.

Reathos does NOT say WHEN someone has to die. He has no power over the time of dead of anyone. That power would lay with Vowzra. However, Reathos does ensure that dead actually happens. For example, the usual time of dead for a Hain would be 60 years if I remember correctly. When Astarte teaches them magic, they may attempt to extend their expected life. This is a violation to Reathos because the Hain didn't die when he's supposed to die. However, only Vowzra (and maybe Fate?) can say when anything is supposed to die.

Right now Reathos is sort of winging it. But that's okay because there aren't any real methods to extend your life to an unnatural degree. He did make the Heraktati to pretty much say in the animal kingdom: "Get on with it and die, you old farts!"

[@Muttonhawk] You're exactly right. Reathos' creations draw from their energy within and if possible from a little around them. Their siphons are still big (about as big as their chests) and indeed, they die should their icy 'skin' break.
