Mask of Undeath

The Mask of Undeath is a Kanohi Mask of Power that reanimated the user upon death. This is accomplisehd by storing a portion of their life force and reapplying it into the bearer's corpse. Once reanimated, the wearer will attempt to fulfill the last task they had before their death. Should they accomplish this, the Mask will expel the lifeforce from the body and allow it to expire naturally.

While reanimated, the user retains some level of their original powers and strength. These are often hampered by a reduction in cognitive procressing, making them sluggish and slow to react. Self-preservation awareness, and vocalization are also reduced in this state. These traits make then less effective in combat or securtity. The best way to deternmine if one is undead is to look at the eyes and heartlight (if the latter is available); a lack of illumiation indicates that they have already died.

Toa are generally disturbed by the usage of a Mask of Undeath, and thus deem it Immoral.
