Resurrection

Background

Resurrection is the ability to resurrect oneself or others after their death. Often, characters can do one or the other, not both, but others can play both. The limits of this ability vary from fiction to fiction and from character to character; some may only be able to resurrect those who have died, while others will be able to bring back to life those who have been dead for some time, even if they have nothing left.

The mechanisms also vary. When in the hands of a character who uses the resurrection on himself, giving him a certain degree of immortality, this ability often coexists with regeneration, although the process may take some time. This ability should not be confused with necromancy, the ability to resurrect the dead as undead, but it also covers reincarnation, characters who, upon death, end up to reincarnate own powers. In many cases, self-resurrection can take too long to be applicable, but it still exists. The ability has similar limits to regeneration, and one should not assume that because characters have never failed to resurrect, they can do it no matter how they was killed.
