SYNTAX Embalm <corpse>
This allows a character to preserve a corpse so that it lasts longer before decaying.

I could see this as more as a trade than a skill. Embalming has to be studied and taught in real life. So I could see a mob teaching how to do this in a ic capacity. To go into detail, elmbalming is a trade skill that involves knowledge of anatomy, the deceased and chemical elements. It's not something that can be self taught or studied within an insignificant amount of time. It must be cultured and cultivated by a teacher to student. Not that it is a bad Idea, I just think it might be more suitable as a learnable trade.

I agree, and I love this idea! I can see this trade being used for Necromancers who are studying corpses. I must be one of the few insane ones who RP on their own, but whenever I'm working on an NPC corpse, it decays before I can complete my study. *mutters*

I'm for it. *beams*

Just wondering.. The one of the posts in the code updates announcements states that the spell 'preservation' is already updated to the game. Do necromancers get this spell?
