He has to believe in reincarnation first :). And since he'll be
ding this before actually dying, his karma may be a bit on the bad side,
meaning he won't get much of a body. Definitely not a human one; maybe a
dog or some other small mammal (or an iguana, which can be funny :) ).


The good thing, of course, is that he'll retain all knowledge he
had from his "previous life", and magical abilities too.
