This process however typically fails to restore the development of a magic user's capabilities fully and requires a period of re-training to restore what has been lost. 
 +    * Alternatively some magical practices allow the creation of what is commonly known as a "phylactery" which allows for an individual to bind their 'soul' to a magical item preventing its loss upon death. Through this, an individual may safeguard their soul upon death for either religious purposes, or to allow for a restoration of their soul to a corporeal form provided adequate steps have been taken prior to death.
   * Some schools of magical practice are capable of imbuing objects, or creating objects with magical properties. Though this is universally an activity that requires a large investment of time and resources.   * Some schools of magical practice are capable of imbuing objects, or creating objects with magical properties.

 In the extremely unlikely event that there is a plausible reason for a magical ability, or action to be performed secretly for whatever reason and can't be addressed in the descriptive text of a post, the player must discuss the circumstances and application with their GM and come to an agreement before implementation IC. In the extremely unlikely event that there is a plausible reason for a magical ability, or action to be performed secretly for whatever reason and can't be addressed in the descriptive text of a post, the player must discuss the circumstances and application with their GM and come to an agreement before implementation IC.
