Chapter 5

So I evented a technique where I would use my magic to whirl tiny iron
particles around a recently killed individual. Then stream pure mana
in to the brain of the corpse. The result was parts of the brain would
briefly glow. The glowing seems to correlate with recent activity in
from that part of the brain. I practiced this on some dwarves from
mortorn and an elf from the Island of Corte. Then with the technique
perfected I moved on to corpses of individuals with more interesting.
personalities. So far I have witnessed those of the fortress had
considerable activity in the frontal region. A region I believe is associated
with joy and moral strength. It is interesting concept that such feelings
would be experienced during conflicts that can and did result in their
death. I have concluded from my work thus far that religiosity is the key
variable. The typical fortress is so committed to the destruction of
evil that in the attempted act, they experience Europhobia of delight
that they are carrying out the wishes of their god or gods.
I need more corpses to ascertain how the probability of death impacts
these feelings.
Unsurprisingly I have found that when a victim has been surprised and
attempts to flee, but fails to do so, there is very little activity in the frontal
region. In this case, there is more activity in a region in the centre part
of the brain. I call this the prey or flight region.
More corpses, more analysis to come. I also wonder if there is a way I can
get some useful communication out of turning the corpse in to a zombie.
Oddly they can report their health in perfect tongue, but seem incapable of
of communicating the experiences of their past living self.
