Useful Info
Lost souls are wandering confluxes of necromantic power which have no offense of their own, but which sacrifice themselves to revive allied living or undead monsters within their line of sight at the moment they are killed. Any natural holiness monster revived in this way become spectral things; they keep their level of intelligence, spells, and special abilities, but gain the standard undead resistances and vulnerabilities. Undead monsters revived in this way remain unchanged. Lost souls do not always choose to sacrifice themselves to save a fallen ally; if monsters of varying strength are present, they will ignore the deaths of weak monsters in order to save themselves for the strong.
Lost souls move quickly and avoid getting close to you, but are generally fragile. If they find themselves in your line of sight with no other monsters around, they will flicker out of the living world and reappear near some other monster elsewhere in the level, then temporarily submerge into the air there.
Lost souls can be found in the Crypt, or be summoned by deep elf death mages.
