Vestment of Rebirth

Vestment of Rebirth

Believed to be a creation of a goddess of love and beauty, this blue and white silken kimono is as rare as it is powerful. The material, while soft, is quite strong, and even seems to harden in response to incoming attacks, making it serviceable as armor.

Merely wearing the enchanted garment fills the wearer with vitality. Their rate of natural healing is doubled, and they receive moderate protection against disease. The vestment's most important attribute however, and the one it's named for, is its ability to resurrect the dead.

Should any intelligent creature die while wearing the Vestment of Rebirth, or should it be draped over a creature that died less than 24 hours prior, the kimono will enlarge, engulf the creature, and harden into a steel-hard cocoon. Should the cocoon be breached within the hour, the contained creature will break down into biological goo, truly dead. Otherwise, the cocooned creature will be rebuilt, free of injury, disease, and all but the most potent curses, and de-aged to their prime if possible. They will acquire a number of traits from wildlife, with a strong priority placed on traits that could've prevented their death. The cocoon disintegrates at this point.
