Editing Resurrection

{{stub}}
'''Resurrection''' is the paracausal ability of coming back to life after death.

==Application==
===Guardian===
''Main article: [[Ghosts]]''

Ghosts are small, sapient machines created by the [[Traveler]] shortly after the [[Collapse]]. Their sole purpose is to locate and resurrect deceased individuals capable of wielding the [[Light]] as [[Guardian]]s, and to support their Guardian charge in combat.

===Hive===
During the war with the [[Ecumene]], Auryx came to realize that the Worm had deceived him and his sisters: their Worms appetites were growing past their ability to feed with death. Meeting with his sisters in his ascendant realm, surrounded by their servants (some of which despised them for showing weakness) they despaired over their dilemma. When his sisters offered their power to help Auryx find a way to save them, Auryx killed them, then used that power to confront his patron god [[Akka, the Worm of Secrets]]. He killed Akka so that he may steal its ability to call upon [[Darkness|the Deep]] and created the Tablets of Ruin, which gave him the power to [[Taken|Take]]. His transformation complete, Auryx was now Oryx, the Taken King. During the subsequent war with the Ecumene, Oryx revived Xivu Arath in an act of war, and revived Savathûn in an act of cunning.

Shortly after the [[SIVA Crisis]], Omnigul would make a brief return to [[Skywatch]] after having "undone" her death to continue her work, only to be swiftly killed again by the Guardian and their fireteam. Since Omnigul was capable of evading permanent death, [[Ikora Rey|Ikora]] remarked that the [[Vanguard]] will likely continue to face Omnigul as many times as it takes.

Before the [[Warmind (expansion)]], other blasphemous acts of defying death could be seen in the [[adventure]] [[Deathless]] on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], where [[Savathûn's Brood]] [[Necromantis]] repeatedly killed and resurrected [[Takul-Dar, the Unbreakable]].<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard [[Deathless]]''</ref>

[[Necromancy]] is a practice involving the use of [[paracausality|paracausal]] abilities to resurrect the dead. It is considered by [[Oryx]]'s Hive to be a violation of [[The Sword Logic]], and therefore forbidden; however, it has been employed by the heretical Hive Prince [[Nokris]], who was taught the secrets of necromancy by the Worm God [[Xol]]. Xol himself used necromancy to resurrect several individuals of various races who had been slain by the [[Guardian]]s, including [[Valus Ta'aurc]], [[Drevis, Wolf Baroness]], and [[Urzok, the Hated]], before [[Taken|Taking]] them and converting them into [[Ta'aurc, Aspect of War]], [[Drevis, Aspect of Darkness]], and [[Urzok, Aspect of Hate]] respectively. Many of [[Savathûn's Hive]] have the title "Revenant" attached to their names, suggesting that [[Savathûn]] and her subordinates also employ necromancy.

When [[Besurith]], [[Voshyr]] and [[Kinox]] efforts at resurrecting Crota and Oryx proved in vain, [[Kinox]] saw an opportunity to rally the leaderless [[Hidden Swarm]] by reanimating the deceased [[Zulmak]] as their puppet champion, with Hashladûn offering the phantasmal essence of the [[Nightmares]] as a catalyst to infuse into Zulmak's husk recovered by Besurith and Voshyr, creating the first hybrid of a Hive infused with the power of the Nightmares.<ref name= Heretic></ref>

===Scorn===
[[Dark Ether]] is a corrupted variant of [[Ether]] used and manufactured by the [[Scorn]] from Fikrul's body. Created when  [[Riven]] granted [[Uldren]]'s wish to resurrect a dead [[Fikrul, the Fanatic|Fikrul]] by infusing Fikrul's Ether with Uldren's own [[Taken]] essence,  this substance is the source of the Scorn's strange powers. Fikrul can use the substance to resurrect dead [[Eliksni]] and [[Scorn]], including himself, while [[Elykris, the Machinist|the Machinist]] can do the same from [[Public Event|Ether Rituals]].

Resurrected individuals appear to be able to survive without a head, as shown by [[Ravager|Ravagers]] and [[Abomination|Abominations]]. Repeated resurrections have a physical toll on the user, leading to the progressive formation of tumor-like growths and increasing mental derangement. Eventually, Eliksni who have undergone many resurrections will become [[Screeb|Screebs]], mindless, crawling Thrall-like monstrosities who throw themselves at enemies and self-destruct in a blast of Dark Ether.

===Nezarec===
The [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]] of the [[the Witness|Witness]] known as [[Nezarec]] has returned from death on at least one occasion, after having been slain by [[Savathûn]] during the Collapse. In this particular case, he was resurrected by the [[Traveler]]'s [[Light]], which had blasted open the [[Pyramid]] where his severed head was being stored. He is implied to have died and been resurrected prior to this, as he reflected upon having "welcomed death" several times before.<ref name="Conditional Finality">'''Bungie (2023/02/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - Item Description: [[Conditional Finality#Lore|Conditional Finality]]''</ref>
