I am in need of a very specific substance in order to survive, and that substance no longer exists in this world.

I have been told death is not permanent in this world.

When I die, am I just going to keep dying over and over again?

Will I revive on the brink of death, only to die again shortly thereafter?

I wonder if anyone knows. I suppose we'll find out.

No. All I can say is that a deal was struck with a very powerful magician to spare my life in the recent past, and the terms of my survival were very specific.

[purered]

It's possible those terms may not apply here.

[flowrite]

If they didn't, it wouldn't be much of a deal, would it?

[purered]

True, those sorts of deals can be tricky. But the Dreaming has a means of affecting particularly powerful magic - perhaps it has had an effect on your circumstances and there may be a way around.

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear: I'm not looking for a way around this. If my soul gem won't let me stay dead, that's good enough for me. I'm just curious what will happen.

[purered]

Forgive me for being forward, but why would you condemn yourself to that kind of existence if there may be an alternative?

[flowrite]

It won't be forever. Everything ends eventually. As long as I don't die permanently, I won't be wasting what others have given me. So it really doesn't matter.
