Lifeless are useful soldiers due to the fact that they do not feel pain and require very little maintenance and no food. Furthermore, the Lifeless retains a measure of the skill that it possessed when alive.{{book ref|wb|33}} This makes it exceedingly economical to reuse the dead soldiers in one's army as Lifeless, as doing so saves money on training costs as well as upkeep.

Corpses that have been [[Soulcast]] into stone could be Awakened, however, this will not reanimate the person who died. The existing [[Connection|Spiritual Connection]] of the deceased person, and the shape of the Soulcast stone, however, will make the stone easier to Awaken.{{wob ref|6138}} Unlike [[Kalad's Phantoms]], corpses Soulcast into stone do not need bones imbedded in the rock to be Awakened.{{wob ref|2781}}
