Legend of the Seeker, Resurrection

Tweet

I really like Legend of the Seeker, probably because I like Bridget Regan as Kahlan. However, they had a very bad flaw in the episode earlier this year called Resurrection. It is the one where they track a trouble making general to a brothel which ends up being run by the Mord'Sith Denna who tortured Richard before. She has a wizard with a spell and a limited amount of potion that can be used to bring a particular spirit back from the underworld to inhabit a dead body. Denna has trained the General and kills him to bring him back in Richard's body after killing Richard as the Lord Raul. She uses the breath of life to revive the body. This is where the problem is. As is noted by Cara when Richard dies she loses the magic of the her ageal and Zed points out that a Mord'Sith's magic comes from the house of Raul and is connected by blood so that when the last in the line of Raul(Richard) is killed the magic is gone. So that means that Denna could not have revived Richard's body with the general's spirit in it and that later Cara could not revive it again with Richard's spirit in it because neither one of them would still be able to use the breath of life since that is part of the magic of the Mord'Sith that they get from the house of Raul.
