From a recent death nearby, a pale-oak lattice briefly shows that player's outline and last held item. Higher Tier reaches further into the past. The pattern is spent.

Pattern

How it works

Ashwake reads the ashes of a recent death. Build it where a player died and wake it. The player's outline rises for a few moments, holding the last item they held, then fades. Steve's outline stirs in the ash — then fades.

The pattern is spent only when it finds a death. The higher the Tier, the further back it reaches:

Tier	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
Reaches back	1 min	3 min	5 min	15 min	30 min	1 hour	4 hours

No death lingers here for this Tier to wake.

Good to know

• The death must have happened within 4 blocks of the rune.
• The outline is only a memory. It cannot be hurt or looted, and it raises nobody.
• Deaths are forgotten when the server restarts.
