Spirit Forge

[Avaran]

The old Spirit Forge scroll stated the following:

This process weakens the spirit and if this ritual is cast upon the same spirit more than once it will resurrect each time the ritual is cast.

The 1.1 version of the ARB on page 144 states:
"Any attempts to Spirit Forge more than once causes a target to resurrect on future Spirit Forges in addition to allowing them to change their class and skills."

With the ritual revamp, a lot of the scrolls were changed or re-worded to make them clearer, easier to understand, and/or less confusing.

The new Spirit Forge scroll does not have any wording or language in it stating that multiple spirit forges will cause the spirit to resurrect.

For context and quick reference, here is some of the wording on the new/updated scroll (OOG, component notes, and spellcraft info have been omitted):

The ritual caster must spend 10 minutes in the casting of this ritual. This ritual is instantaneous and irrevocable and the changes made last forever or until the target receives another Spirit Forge. This is a General Aspect ritual and will always be the same as the aspect of the ritual caster. .

This ritual tears the spirit apart and forges it anew. The spirit forgets its previous profession and all skills but may choose a new profession and relearn skills immediately. The spirit does not lose any memories of previous actions, merely the skills to perform them.

Is this an intentional omission/change?

The change to Spirit Forge was intentional from the Ritual Committee revisions. It no longer causes resurrections.
