reciting while dead

[Sneaky]

recite hi
You can't do that, you're a lingering, insubstantial spirit!
(If you don't think anyone's going to find your corpse and save you, you may depart, but it will cause your skills to be temporarily lowered by a substantial amount. You might try looking around to see if there's anything interesting in this limbo you've ended up in.)
You recite:
hi

Coanid, defyer of death.
