Word of Recall

[Snails]

It's sort of a self-fulflling prophecy. If you spend your best spell slots on escape spells, then you will certainly be forced to use them. If you spend your best spell slots on offense, you might actually win. You have to take some risk in order to get ahead, even when you're a 200-year-old vampire.

True that.

Malack already rates as a weak healer for the likes of a highish level party like Team Tarquin, even without Word of Recall. As he seems to not be enthusiastic for front line duty, within an evil party, Malack is the kind of person whose demise might be arranged, to make room for fresher and more team-useful blood.

So the Word of Recall only sends you quickly to where the vat of Holy Water is waiting, next to the shattered remains of your coffin, sooner rather than later.
