Silas's Notes

Straw and clay were simple enough to fashion, but replacing sinew and bone proved much more troublesome. Thus far, my greatest success hath been the reanimation of a young cutpurse, hanged but a day prior, his flesh still gripped by rigor mortis. Into his heart I drew the anima of a fluttering bird, and to quicken his limbs, I sacrificed a small hare. To my astonishment, he walked – albeit stiffly – for three days, ere collapsing in a fit of spasms. Still, a far better outcome than with the old skeleton I exhumed a week before. From this, I glean two conclusions: First, the fresher the corpse, the more likely that my inscriptions shall take effect. Second, it is strangely easier to animate the inanimate, such as a straw doll, than to wrest motion from a human cadaver. Perhaps the body yet clings to the soul that once dwelt within, and thus rejects a foreign spirit? This leads me to ponder further: might the most potent form of resurrection lie in binding a soul to its own flesh at the very moment of death? A curious thought… though what would be the purpose of slaying a man, only to revive him but a breath later? No matter. I shall next attempt to work on some animals – and thereafter, perhaps, a beggar none would mourn. Lastly, I do believe I’ve amassed sufficient knowledge to begin composing a proper treatise, rather than these scattered notes which I always misplace.
