Re: Malazon
I guess when I say die "for real" what I mean is being taken out of the tapestry of history, and even if your soul lives on elsewhere, being unable to affect events in the mortal world. By that standard Coltaine is actually one of the least offensive, as while he was "reborn", it was as a child and it will take many years for him to grow and become relevant again.
Compare to: Paran, Silverfox, Tool, The Bridgeburners (in spirit form), the Malazan historian (can't spell his name, etc. who die and yet immediately come back and are able to impact events.
