The Caster removes his/her own heart from their chest, placing it safely away from the world, much like a Lich and its phylacteries. He/She then imbues the heart with necrotic magics and seals it away, typically in a tomb or burial ground. The Caster then replaces the empty spot with a similar creature's heart. After this ritual has been completed if the caster were to somehow succumb to death their soul will travel back to their heart and they will slowly begin to regenerate. This effect does not work if your soul is trapped or severed. Roll a D10, that is how many months it will take your character to regenerate.
If your heart is found and destroyed separately from your body, you die where you stand.
(Prerequisite : During the ritual you will die temporarily as you remove your heart, so I've had my NPCs/PCs required to have either some undead servant with a reasonable intelligence score or another PC/NPC assist with the ritual.)
* - (The Heart of a Humanoid similar to that of the caster. An additional NPC/PC to assist with the ritual.)
