Lays a seemingly fatal touch on willing living target, causing them to behave as though they are dead, including leaving an itemized corpse. Those under the effects of rigor mortis cannot perceive their surroundings but have a telepathic link with the caster. At any time the affected target may choose to wake up. Anyone who has the itemized corpse in their inventory is forced to drop it as they "come back to life". Logging out while under the effects of rigor mortis does not revive the affected.

A DC 30 Intuition check is required to determine that the itemized corpse is actually alive. Repeat checks will not be effective and silently fail.

Restoration counters and dispels rigor mortis, forcing the affected to wake up.
