Prerequisite: Must have accepted a Dark Gift within the Amber Temple or another Domain of Dread.
“Hello traveller, you stand before Sykane, the Soul Hungerer. I offer you complete control over death. A great power it is, but it has a price. And whenever you use it you’ll also collect the price to be paid.”
Sykane’s gift is the power to raise the recently deceased. This dark gift allows its beneficiary to cast the raise dead spell as an action. After it has been used three times, the dark gift vanishes.
As soon as this dark gift is received, the beneficiary’s eyes glow a sickly yellow until the dark gift vanishes.
The beneficiary also gains the following flaw: “If I help someone, I expect payment in return.”
