Bren Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Recover Spirit is mentioned in the Gamemaster Adventures Spoiler as one of Tarndisi the Druid's Rune Spells. I can't find a description in RQiG or the Red Book of Magic. I failed to find a correction addressing this and I even went back to my old RQ3 Magic Book and Gods of Glorantha, but no luck there either. Anybody know what this spell does? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTBP Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) This is the Shanassee Tree on page 51? It’s Special Rune Magic of the Gardener Subcult of Aldrya in RQ:G Bestiary, page 26. It’s in Cults of Prax, page 104 of my RQC PDF. Quote Recover Spirit 3 points Duration instantaneous, Range touching corpse, Reusable. Useful only on Aldrya cultists, this spell must be used within one day of death. Within that time the priest may meet the victim's spirit on the spirit plane and force it back to its body if the priest succeeds in one round of spirit combat with the departing spirit. But after one day, the spirit will have left the influence of the Great Trees, and the spell will not work. The body first must be Healed to positive hit points. A roll of 96-00 results in the priest finding the wrong spirit to put back in the body. Use the Daka Fal Random Ancestor Chart to determine the replacement spirit found.

Bren Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Thanks, I didn't read enough of the Aldrya entry in Cults of Prax. (I stopped before the Gardeners). That answers my question. Oddly, the write up in the Glorantha Bestiary doesn't include the Recover Spirit Spell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTBP Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) I’ve noted it in the Red Book of Magic corrections thread. Edit: Noted in the RuneQuest Rules Q&A thread as instructed.

Anunnaki Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Recover Spirit is not written up in the ash can preview of Cults of Glorantha (2019 GenCon edition) either, but is mentioned in the list of Rune Magic available to the Gardeners in that same preview book. I suspect it's one that slipped through the cracks, so as Andrew noted, definitely worth mentioning in the RBoM corrections thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for checking! I just searched my PDFs on my iPad and I don’t have that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
