Again, the magic of this world had far surpassed Jason's expectations. Was magic really that simple? It couldn't be! The symbols that appeared WITHIN these new magic circles created by the rite seemed incredibly familiar as well, and though Jason knew it was something he should recognize, he couldn't quite place the quickly disappearing script.  Perhaps the most interesting effect of all, was that the death-tinged air itself; even if it was just for a moment, seemed to lighten. However, as much as he wanted to sit and ponder the phenomenon, getting his group back to his cave to sleep took priority at the moment.  

As Jason arrived at the area in front of his cave, he was presented with quite a scene.  Asteria, Digbie, and what he assumed was an evolved Oberon were gathered around the remains of a skeleton that recently had it's skull pierced with some form of projectile. [color=darkred]"Damn. It was foolish of me to assume that these fucking things wouldn't start spawning before nightfall..."[/color] Jason cursed audibly, before switching over to using [b][Telepathy II][/b] to communicate. [color=darkred][i]'Good job defending the core you three, lord knows what could happen if one of these things were to interact with it.... Regardless, it's good to so see you're safe Oberon, no doubt that backstabbing little bitch filled your ear with lies after you came to, so I'm sure you have questions for me... Though I'm more than willing to explain, there's a few things I need to take care of.... Would you three mind backing away from the skeleton's remains for a moment?'[/i][/color]

Even after dying a second time, it appeared that the curse of undeath still lingered, as the remains of the skeleton seemed steeped in an ominous force. Using [b][Magic Analysis I][/b] on the bones, Jason felt true pity for the first time in his new life.  To be forced into such an existence for all eternity was a truly unjust fate, one that even the cruelest souls didn't deserve... Thankfully, Jason's newfound ability may allow him to free this accursed soul, and end their torment.

Once again drawing his new 'staff', waving it in slow, steady circles; focusing his magic through it, Jason began his ritual once more. [color=darkred]"Souls of the accursed, may I grant thee peace.  And as all life doth spring forth from earth, may the power invested in me, as master of this dungeon- allow thee to return to it at ease.  No more shall ye wander a tormented existence in death, but be born anew in the afterlife. Taint of death that damns these bones I banish thee, relinquish yon vile grasp! Let this poor cursed soul move on, and rest in peace at last... [b]ROCK SPIRE BURIAL RITE--[i]Earth's Mercy[/i][/b]!"[/color] he chanted before casting [b][Rock Spire I][/b]. Just like before with the goblin corpses, the circles with the strange symbols once again appeared, each rotating in a different direction. From these circles burst forth a broad, flat Rock Spire; much larger than those usually created by the spell, falling forward, it crushed what remained of the skeleton's skull before turning into something similar to a hastily made grave-- and somehow, the deathly air of the dungeon even seemed to lighten (GM MAY ADJUST THE EFFECTS OF THE RITE AT THEIR DISCRETION--THIS RESULT MAY NOT BE FINAL).  This time though, Jason made sure to use [b][Magic Analysis I][/b] on his rite; hopefully giving him more insight into this strange new style of magic.

[color=darkred]"Alright everyone, lets get some rest. If you DO feel the compulsion to leave, I won't stop you, but the more help I can get, the better...."[/color] Jason said to his allies as he snapped up the dire rat corpse that had been abandoned by the side of the pool. [color=darkred]"Ed, you aren't looking so good, make sure you get an herb... Anyone who's staying here, pile into the cave, sleep, evolve, do whatever you need to do.  I'll set up to take first watch in a moment..."[/color] he said as moved toward his cave, digesting his newfound meal.
