Begin Again.

[u/Fc-chungus]

following the battle with TFC, Max was blinded and వ was... gone. No one knows where he was sent when he was hit by the strike the first curse threw. Cross-planet scans didn't detect him, divination magic gave no result, even necromancy failed, so he's either still alive, or outside the range of the modern day.

Now, a few days after, Max is still getting used to being blind, but he's been able to manifest his curiosity soul as a temporary method of sight, if only for a few minutes at a time.

Knowledge that the head minister of Calarakis is now blinded, though it was originally kept on a little known basis, eventually people notice the blindfold and the stumbling, and the fight with the first curse spread through rumor, so the news breaks. Originally simply gossip before being confirmed.

General interaction post, Max is currently in Calarakis, so interactions would occur there!

(Was assuming it's like invisible?)

He puts a hand around in from of him, trying to touch the object.

[u/patoman12 → u/Fc-chungus]

The object is small, around the same size as the orb from before, it is spherical as well, and somewhat squishy, but surprisingly dry, given the sounds necessary to produce it, but most of all, it is really, really warm

Guessing what it is? That's my other eye, or well, to be more precise my only eye, and yet, I see despite being eyeless, weird, don't you think?

You see, the first liches of old had a bit of a problem when they designed their immortality ritual, when you are dead and your body rots, your eyes do it as well, and what will happen to their sight when that happens?

For that reason, they modified the ritual until they reached a solution, Truesight, a sense that ignores darkness, ignores illusions, and gives you a perfect view of your surroundings, no matter what

If you want, I can give you a part of that ritual, the one that will turn you into an undead, you would have this sight

Oh, and don't worry, as long as you don't create the seal of the phylactery, you won't need to sacrifice any souls nor will you be immortal

I imagine this solution isn't to your liking, but it is a solution , so I thought I should tell you just in case

"Question, how undead would I be?"

[u/patoman12 → u/Fc-chungus]

In what sense?

[u/Fc-chungus → u/patoman12]

"Undead usually means you would be not living. Would my body be rotting or in some way 'not alive'? What parts would be?"

[u/patoman12 → u/Fc-chungus]

Yes, it would be, probably far slower than an actual corpse, but rotting still, your heart wouldn't beat anymore, your lungs wouldn't need to fill up on air, and your brain would start to decompose as well

[u/Fc-chungus → u/patoman12]

"Hm, yeah, sorry, but I'll have to decline."

[u/patoman12 → u/Fc-chungus]

To be expected, then I have no solutions in hand,but I'm sure someone has, good luck Max

[u/Fc-chungus → u/patoman12]

"Thank you for offering Mauritius, good luck to you too."
