That thing about Soulblighter's reincarnation bothers me; in Tales From Myth, is shows a picture of Connacht, Damas, and a mysterious hooded figure. Damas looks *exactly* like Soulblighter, down to the hairdo, with the exception of still having lips. But then you said Shiver's old appearance was nothing like her TFL or M2 appearance.
So, can people choose their appearances on reincarnation? And when they're reincarnated, do they have to be born and grow up, or do they just spontaneously appear as an adult somewhere? Or are there different kinda of reincarnation? "Rebirth", like Balor's gift to the Myrmidon's or Soulblighter's ritual self-mutilation, and maybe Heron immortality; "ressurection", like Shiver with Tramist's Mirror or archmages' extra lives; and actual "reincarnation", where the person dies and is born again as another person.
