The Soulbound

There is a rare and highly obscure form of magic based on the creation of magically binding contracts. The most infamous use of this magic is for the purpose of Soulbinding, which involves a Meister contacting a dead or dying person or creature, who’s soul is then contractually bound to the Meister as a Savant. The Savant is restored to life, though must obey the Meister. This Meister and Savant now share their life force (HP is shared) and when one dies, so does the other. The cost of this arrangement, is half the Meister remaining life expectancy, which is given to the Savant.
