Immortality Inducer: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' has [http://mtg.wikia.com/wiki/Fountain_of_Youth The Fountain of Youth], which gives players a cheap method of increasing their life points. Only the pigeons ever discovered its secrets, since no one in their right mind would drink from a dirty public fountain (especially if pigeons bathe in it).

* ''[[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)]]'' campaign ''The Fungi From Yuggoth''. The [[Villain]] Lang Fu has worn his Coat of Life for centuries, as it grants him long life. If it is ever removed from him for more than a few minutes, he will suffer from [[Rapid Aging]] and die.

 

 

** In the sequel, ''[[The Reconstruction]]'', it is also {{spoiler|the "artifact" that Havan finds. Tezkhra reveals in the [[Golden Ending]] that there are five in total. Four are destroyed or deactivated by Tezkhra, so the fifth is likely a [[Sequel Hook]].}}

* {{spoiler|Jacob Crow}} in ''[[Time Splitters]]'' achieves immortality by merging himself with one of these, or turning himself into one, it would seem. The good? He is immortal and can time-travel at will. The bad? His [[Body Horror|body is plastered to a giant bipedal mech, and he has absolutely no hands whatsoever]].

* The ''[[Touhou]]'' series has the Hourai Elixir, which was literally created by distilling the concept of eternity into liquid form. It makes whoever drinks it immortal by removing the very concept of death from their being: they will never age, never grow sick, and will instantly heal any injury, no matter how severe. The closest one can get to defeating one is beating them down until the pain makes them not want to fight you anymore. Fortunately, only two people have consumed the Elixir, neither of whom is particularly interested in a fight to the death ([[Cycle of Revenge|except between]] [[Revenge Before Reason|each other]]).

* In ''[[Pokémon Ranger]]: Guardian Signs'', {{spoiler|The Societea become immortal by wearing pieces of the Golden Armor. This seems to be of the "stop the aging process and survive mortal blows" kind, but we never actually see them suffer any direct physical harm until after they lose their armor to [[The Starscream|Purple Eyes]], so we can't be sure about the latter. After Purple Eyes is defeated, the armor disappears, thus making sure no one remains immortal.}}
