The extract, when fed to a creature which died within the past 3 days, attempts to restore brain functions. The creature’s body must be relatively intact, as the extract does not repair extreme bodily damage. If the creature’s soul is unwilling to continue living, the extract returns the body to functioning but without the same emotional or mental drive that the creature had in life (ie. the soul does not return if unwilling). If willing, the creature returns to the body, restored.
Any creature returned to life with an extract of second life, whether the soul returned or not, has 1 hit point and is still suffering from any long-term debilitations of the body. The creature has no points in any ability pools, and, if the soul did not return, will never regain those points. Additionally, the separation between body and soul inflicts the Enervated 2 condition for a week, or permanently if the soul did not return. This condition cannot be ended early by any means.
The extract of second life has been known to have strange side effects. Some creatures brought back to life with their souls have mild to extreme personality shifts, physical changes caused by damage to their body, or other strange indications of this life-altering event.
An extract of second life is a very rare item.
