15HP/tic regen for 3min that is overwritten by Regen spells. Effect remains if weapon is changed. ~5%proc rate.

Occ. prevents "weakened" works only on first weakened. ~10% proc rate

RR3 retain 50% HP on proc
Araise retain 100% HP on proc

So I guess the real question is, does this only block the weakness effect attached to certain NM's TP moves, or can it also allow you to reraise in an unweakened state?

Chances are the proc rate is so low that it won't matter either way, but its still an interesting gimmick.

*Wiki*
himthige aka Housecarls:
With time, the term "housecarls" (húskarlar) came to acquire a specific sense of "retainers", in the service of a lord, in his hirð, lid or drótt (all meaning "bodyguard", "troop of retainers").[3] In Denmark, this was also the sense of the word "himthige", a variant of húskarl

If the thing can proc on deaths (and double weaknesses, it's possible they'll block that out) it's going to be useful to have if you combine it with the Twilight set to commit suicide until you come back unweakened. Mileage will vary based on the proc rate, of course.

I think it's a bit lame to be promoting zombie tactics like this, though I guess it won't be widespread like Abyssea was given how horrible the drop rates on pulse weapons generally are.
