8.8 The ship of the dead.

Travelling on the ship of the dead as a means of resurrection is simple, but costly. You will notice when you type STATUS or SCORE that you have only a finite number of safe encounters with death. Each time you become a ghost, you will lose one of these safe trips. Once you have used up the initial safe trips your skills will begin to lose effectiveness by 1% for each subsequent trip. This does not effect your actual skill progress. Lessons and practice taken will never be lost. Instead it effects the effectiveness of their daily use. In order to reverse the effects of death on your skills, and to give you up to a divinely ordained number of safe encounters with death again, you must apply the rare herb known as wurtfoil. Each consumption of wurtfoil will increase your skill effectiveness by 1% or, when at 100% effective, will give you an extra safe trip on the ship of death.
