Prologue: DID I STUTTER?Rhedarios stood up with energy, revitalized and hoping his next attempts at !!MAGIC!! wouldn't be as disastrous as before. The small amount of time he dedicated to resting didn't get him enough time to understand the his scaly companion's book, but he'd try to improve by himself anyway.
"Ok...I have to try once more."
Rhedarios tries to heal himself again with simple restoration magic.
[2-1] You are forced to reconsider the meaning of "restoration magic" as pain once again lances through your arms, along with crackling black energy.

[2] Probably a fluke.
Also you feel better again.

[2] There's a beach. Deer like beaches, right?
Doesn't seem so.
When Lamar stopped breathing, Eric scratched his beard in puzzlement... then chuckled and said ominously:
"What the hell, why not?"
Raise Lamar's body as my undead servant.
Also, examine the Mask from a magical point of view. Why isn't it working? How to fix it? Can I enchant it with Necromancy?

[6] Your dreams wander to how
lazy certain people are, and you forget entirely to dream about what it actually does. Probably
nothing because

so lazy.Not that it matters a lot to you personally at this point.
[3] Your body shudders, limbs tensing a bit as more of you shifts to plantmeatstuff.
Clarence was actually quite pleased with the notebook, it hadn't given him step by step instructions, but it had at least given him a lead more viable than the last one. Kelp was plentiful, and he was sure he could get a bit of blood from somewhere....
Follow the helpful advice of the book. Slather Lamar with kelp, and possibly some of my blood, until he gets a bit more evil better.
[5+2-2] You stabilize him admirably, his body taking in the extra kelp and blood. He even starts visibly breathing again! ...he still
looks dead, though.

I'll go ahead and roll your, uh, spiritual showdown later.
Also, remember that that Cheddarius' fatal miscast was by no means his
first brush with healing magic. The first few turns were basically also that except he got better.
