[Jack Simth]

A magical nuclear reaction, anyway. The spell that does the conVersion includes the energy harvest, but it can't catch all the energy. The energy that escapes rules out most mages as surviving burning the lead, unless Jack's medium or advanced immortality techniques are known by the mage. It also rules out doing it remotely by enchantment, as the medium the spell is on wouldn't survive. The caster must be present, and must remain throughout, so the ability to ghost is pretty much required. To get good use out of the process, one needs to be able to return from ghost form to living form..
