Resurrection
Conjuration (Healing)
Level: Blogger 7
Posting Time: 10 minutes

This spell functions like raise interest, except that you are able to restore life and complete strength to any deceased topic.

The condition of the remains is not a factor. So long as some small interest in the topic still exists, it can be resurrected. The topic can have been dead no longer than 10 days per poster level.

Upon completion of the spell, the topic is immediately restored to full vigor and health, with no loss of interest. However, the topic loses one level of relevance. If this reduction would bring its relevance to 0 or lower, the topic can’t be resurrected.

You can resurrect a topic killed by an uncomfortable silence or a topic that has been turned into spam and then deleted. You cannot resurrect a topic that has died of old age.

Material Component: A blog.

Its amazing how many times Sony can misjudge the market with their proprietary formats. They have done it over and over and over again. I decided a few months ago to boycott Sony, I MIGHT be convinced to buy a PS3 (I'll leave that up to what system SquareEnix makes future games for). But otherwise I won't support them until they start making some big changes in the devices they make/formats they push.

The blu-ray nonsense sold me on the Nintendo Revolution. I've been playing a DS that Handwing lent me a few days ago and Morgan and I love it.

The Revolution is going to be a great family gaming box with lots of new experience instead of just "highest-res blood and gore".

So, I can get onboard with that boycott (even if I have to duck under Rainswepts Sarcasmballs (3rd level Invoc/Evoc) ).

We definitely agree on one thing... the DS is a sweet little unit - especially when equipped with Elektroplankton.

Yummy Elektroplankton! I could eat tons of the stuff and never get full!
