For anyone wondering, the video link is supposed to put you at the 3:20 timestamp, that's what the link did for me.
Are you talking about the
Mori spell? I I don't know how lives in Rogue Lineage work. Are lives like literal resurrection? If they are, then that would probably be an attack that negates resurrection abilities. The kill animation looks like existence erasure but you can't be sure. The spell is named "Death" so there's a possibility it's also flat-out Death Manipulation, but it can be resisted with
Mythic Stability (immunity to one-shots, which includes moves like Lethality -
which is simply an instakill at low enough HP that doesn't look like it relies on any magical ability).
Apparently,
lives in Khei (the second world you can get to in the game) just makes it so dying more has a chance to wipe you rather than wiping you upon reaching 0 lives. Aside from the lives systems, there's another source of damage that instantly wipe you regardless of your life count - the Domain of Light.
The Domain of Light puts the player in "mortal danger" and its area description reads "You feel the weight of your sins drag you down to the floor".
The Ferryman - a character in what is basically the game's purgatory that you will spawn in after wiping - likes to make snarky little comments about how your character died that make me want to ******* strangle him to death (double death since he's already dead I think).
Dying in the Tomeless Fire pit (which has pretty white flames so you know they're special) will cause him to say that it was 'hard to retrieve the remnants of your soul'. Dying to normal fire causes him to joke about you being turned to ashes, so maybe the lives system has to do with your character's soul getting ****** up a little too much I think.
At the same time, however, there's apparently attacks like
Soul Rip (from Dinakeri) that apparently let you EAT your opponent's soul, but this doesn't wipe them. So maybe it's soul destruction or something? Being ghost rider'd by something? soul destruction that isn't having your soul eaten? Rogue is weird, man.
Outside of solely going on about souls, there's some really ****** gruesome ways to die in Rogue that make me think the lives system is resurrection from a glance.
You can get eaten alive by zombies,
be impaled in the heart with a spear, and
get burnt into ashes by a fire spell, and you
still respawn after those. Either there's really really good medical service in Rogue Lineage's universe or you're literally just poofing back into existence every time you get torn apart by timmy's gank squad/chomped in half by a cow-sized wolf/incinerated in a pit of lava.
In conclusion:
