Ainz/Demiurge - Ressurection/Healing

“Oh! I would expect nothing less, Lord Ainz. So you’d already considered the matter I was thinking of, huh? Please excuse me...for my insolence. By the way, why don’t you ever use resurrection magic, Lord Ainz? I was thinking you would use it on all the dead humans to gather intelligence...”

“...Huh?” Caught by surprise, he made a dumb-sounding noise. “Didn’t I tell you? Do you know about Demiurge’s healing experiments?”

“Yes. The one where he cuts off all four limbs and then casts healing magic on them?”

“Yes. So here’s the next question. Do you know where you cast resurrection magic?”

“On the corpse, no?”

“...No! Er, I don’t think so?”

Ainz and Albedo both ruminated on that until Albedo’s face suddenly brightened.

“Oh! I was wrong. It’s as you said, Lord Ainz, not the corpse but the soul.”

“That’s right. In Demiurge’s experiments, the severed limbs vanished and then grew out of the body. So what happens to the body when you cast resurrection magic on the soul?”

In Yggdrasil, there were four outcomes when casting resurrection magic on someone (which also dealt the penalty of lost XP).The first was that they would revive on the spot. The second was that they would revive at the entrance to the dungeon or wherever. The third was that they would revive in a safe town nearby. And the fourth was that they would revive at their designated home point, such as their guild’s headquarters.
