The '''Revenant Vertebrae''' is an [[artificial body part]] that acts as a total spine replacement. It grants the ability [[Revenant Invisibility]], which turns the user invisible for 15 seconds on a 1 day cooldown. It provides 100% efficiency, the same as an organic spine.

== Acquisition ==
Bionic hearts can be crafted at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.

== Summary ==
The revenant vertebrae replaces a shattered or otherwise damaged spine, and both prevents and cures the [[bad back]] condition. It otherwise provides no other statistical, curative, or preventative benefit, aside from the Revenant Invisibility ability. Its creation requires the defeat of a [[Revenant]], and the associated Revenant Invisibility Void Research to be completed. You can execute a previously captured and contained revenant to revert it back to its spine form, for subsequent use in creating the item.

=== Installation ===
Installing the part requires {{Ticks|2500}} of work, 2x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and a [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] of 5.

Removing the part requires {{ticks|2000}} of work, 1x medicine of [[Herbal medicine|herbal]] quality or better, and has no [[Skills#Medical|Medical skill]] requirements.

If the operation fails, the part has a 100% chance to be destroyed.(*verification required)

== Analysis ==
Revenant Vertebrae can cure colonists with scarred or shattered spines, as well as the [[bad back]] condition from old age. Bad backs and scars are only otherwise curable with [[luciferium]], a [[healer mech serum]], [[biosculpter pod]]{{IdeologyIcon}} bioregeneration cycle, or the [[Genes#Scarless|scarless]] gene,{{BiotechIcon}} which is naturally found on [[Sanguophage]]s.{{BiotechIcon}} A shattered spine can only otherwise be cured by a healer mech serum or installation of a [[bionic spine]]. 

The Revenant Vertebrae can also be useful to give to [[body modder]]s for a mood buff without affecting any stats, with 6 installed parts giving the maximum mood buff. However [[bionic eye]]s, [[bionic leg|legs]], and [[bionic arm|arm]]s all use more easily obtained materials, and, unlike the spine, give a stat boost to the relevant [[capacity]]. Two of each of these alternatives reaches the maximum buff and results in a significantly more capable colonist. Thus, the spine should only be used for this purpose if the other options are unavailable or otherwise contraindicated, such as on [[Blindsight]]{{IdeologyIcon}} pawns. 

However, it may prove valuable for a melee pawn to close distances without being shot, to allow a ranged pawn to escape melee and create distance, or for the purpose of allowing one to sneak said pawn into and out of a location without being detected, such as for hacking a guarded terminal.
