Protection Spell

A protection spell has been developed by the wizard Merlin to give a person additional chances to rise back from the dead for a number of times based on the souls of people that died around them when the spell was cast. It was used by John Constantine on Chris Constantine.

Overview
The spell's incantation is in Brittonic, the language of the ancient Britons of the Kingdom of Camelot. It works in such a way that if people die around the person affected by the spell in a little while after the spell is cast, their souls will be bound to the affected person, giving them additional chances in life.

History
During their early adventures together, John Constantine and Chris Constantine were at a Lillian Axe concert at Pool Hall. John, heavily intoxicated, noticed that Chris didn't look so good, and performed the protection spell on him while drunk, not really expecting it to work. When a fire started in the Pool Hall, it took lives of the 900 people, including Chris, who tried to save a few panicking attendees of the concert. However, Chris has risen after his death, healing burns, injuries and broken bones overnight. When he told about it to John, the other man explained the details of the spell. Burdened with the new lives, Chris started actively assisting John in his adventures. Chris asked John to dispell the protection spell, but John could only apologize in return, saying that he tried, but wasn't able to find a proper dispelling. He's given Chris a choice: either shoulder this burden, let it consume him from within, or use it against evil and fulfill the bound souls' destinies.
