{{Skill_detail
|skill = Revivify
|description = Scour any trace of desecration
|syntax = REVIVIFY
|detail = In elder days, Executors utilised a spell that allowed them to pass without trace and
leave no evidence of camp or simple travel. Though much of that incantation is lost to time's

that embodied such primal sensations. Utilising shadow and motion as reagents, this once-lost art
forged dangerous accomplices that provided aid when conducting the Manipulator's assigned purposes.
Early students of this art are only capable of illustrating and commanding up to two accomplices at
once. Consult AB ARTIFICE for a list of the accomplices you are capable of drawing into your employ.
Fabricating an accomplice has no delay if used in a forest, as its shady gloam serves to heighten
the binding process, but will otherwise impose a short delay if used in a non-urban environment,
and a long delay otherwise.
If you get separated from your accomplices you can CALL ACCOMPLICES at any time to return them to
your side. ACCOMPLICES will let you see what beings you have summoned, as well as their current

will heal you and your allies in the same location as it. It will heal either health or mana - but
not both - as long as you are below 90% of your respective maximum.

pincers.
