by Jack V:

Colour-shift of Regenesis #3 for Challenge # 099.

I debated what the flavour for this in black should be. The obvious flavour in black is dying and resurrecting. I wanted to convey:

A usually small effect
But with a small chance of a very dangerous (positive or negative) effect

There was no room for flavour text, so I had to use the name. I wanted to hint at the idea that "you kill someone and send their soul into hell and then bring them back but you might get something more dangerous back in their place", and "peek into hell" was the closest I could think of.

I could think of a white flavour (of a brave sacrifice to risk returning from the afterlife) but I decided sacrificing and reanimating creatures were both more black.

Nice evocative name! It inspired my Peek into Hell #2.
