Immortality

I'm a fool, but I can't seem to find the immortality spell anywhere. Which path? I'm looking to insure the life of my precious commanders (and the whole mummy thing is nice, but...) so other suggestions are welcome.

It'd be rather difficult to 'fairly' price it, given how powerful it could become.

That would explain why I couldn't find it in the game. Though there are several threads speaking of such a spell...

immortality isn't a spell, it's a state certain creatures-and not all of them are Pretenders-are in. And certainly, not all Pretenders are immortal either. I don't think you can even Wish for it, although it would be nice if you could...

there is a spell called twiceborn where the spellcaster returns as a wight mage, essentially a lich, which is immortal, I believe.

Yeah, but I don't think that spell works for Ancient Krakens, unless I'm wrong.

IIRC Wight mages aren't immortal, they're just undead (so don't really age for example).

Actually there is an immortality spell... Alteration 7 'Phoenix Pyre'.

Immortality is also a permanent trait available to a few pretenders and summons.

..........

If you're looking to keep your important commanders alive have them 'pass around' the unique armor called "armor of virtue". After one battle the commander should receive the ritual of returning mark and can then switch back to his original armor and allow another commander to temporarily wear the "armor of virtue". This ritual of returning mark means if they are struck even once in battle they will be teleported back to your castle... depending on your unit and what you're fighting the one strike shouldn't kill.

Phoenix pyre isnt immortality, they both have completely different effects. Immortality lets you come back to your capitol if you die in your dominion where-as phoenix pyre lets you explode and reappear on the battlefield if you die unless your too tired.

You can pretty easily set up such a "lab" with a small map and map commands.
