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 ==
{{Acquisition}}

== 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 is impossible.

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

It cannot be installed on [[ghoul]]s.

== Analysis ==
{{Rewrite|reason=Too close a copy of bionic spine, and very little on its unique acquisition and ability}}
Revenant Vertebrae can cure colonists with scarred or shattered spines, as well as the [[bad back]] condition from old age, similar to a [[bionic spine]]. 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. Unlike a bionic spine, however, the revenant vertebrae offers more than restoration of movement

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 vertebrae is mainly useful should only be used for this purpose if the other options are unavailable or otherwise contraindicated, such as on [[Blindsight]]{{IdeologyIcon}} pawns. 

However, if you can attain a revenant spine, the extra effort may prove worth it. The revenant vertebrae provides the ability to go invisible, a useful trait for a melee pawn to close distances without being shot, or 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. For this reason it works both as a spinal replacement and a body modification for any who'd require stealth
