	“	... The Woodland Mansion houses many treasures worth the risk - not least of which resides within the robes of the Evoker himself. Best him in combat and he will drop a Totem of Undying - a magic relic that, if equipped during some fatal calamity, will bring the player back from the brink of death!	„
		— Marsh Davies

The totem of undying is a rare item which can save a player from death.

Obtaining

The totem of undying is dropped by the spell-casting evoker. Only one totem will be dropped each time, and cannot be increased with the Looting enchantment.

Usage

If the player is holding a totem of undying in their off-hand slot and receives otherwise fatal damage, the totem will prevent the player from dying. The totem of undying must be in the player's off-hand for it to work — it will not work if it is in the hotbar. The totem can only be used once; it will disappear after use.

• When used, an animation will play where the totem of undying appears to hover in front of the player's screen, similar to the animation when a player encounters an elder guardian.

• Totems of undying do not save the player from death caused by the /kill command, or void damage.

Effect

When activated, restores 1HP, removes all existing status effects, then grants 40 seconds of Fire Resistance II,‌ 45 seconds of Regeneration II and 5 seconds of Absorption II.
